Taeyeon and Joo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah come on, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

어쩌면 이미
꽤 오래전 불현듯 시작돼버린 느낌
Yeah

언젠가부터 eh
하루 매 순간에 널 생각하고만 있어
Yeah

이 자그만 변화를 내비쳐버리면
달라질 우리 사이
나 그게 더 두려워 애써 네 곁에서
말들을 삼키지만
But I wish you were mine

If I could tell you
조금 자연스레
If I could tell you
전하고 싶은데
내 맘이 자꾸
나를 앞질러 가
네게 좀 더 닿길 원해
If I could tell you

너에겐 오직
누구보다 가까운 존재가 나이길 바라
Yeah yeah

마음속 깊이
가장 소중히 빛나던 감정은
Always for you
Yeah yeah

이 자그만 변화를 내비쳐버리면
달라질 우리 사이
나 그게 더 두려워 애써 네 곁에서
말들을 삼키지만
But I wish you were mine

If I could tell you
조금 자연스레
If I could tell you
전하고 싶은데
내 맘이 자꾸
나를 앞질러 가
네게 좀 더 닿길 원해
If I could tell you

If I could tell you
If I could tell you
내 맘을
If I could tell you

Oh maybe 너도 같다면
Oh baby 사랑이라면
한 걸음 다가가
솔직해질까
Be in love now

If I could tell you
모든 맘을 꺼내
If I could tell you
전하고 싶은데
그 어떤 말도
부족한 것 같아
네게 좀 더 닿길 원해
If I could tell you

If I could tell you
If I could tell you
내 맘을
If I could tell you

If I could tell you
If I could tell you




내 맘을
If I could tell you

Overall Meaning

The song "If" by TaeYeon ft. JOO is a beautiful ballad about unspoken feelings towards someone close to the heart. The beginning of the song mentions that perhaps the feelings have existed for a long time but have never been expressed. The singer admits to constantly thinking about the person throughout each day, but fears that if they reveal their small changes in emotions, it may alter their relationship.


The chorus consists of the singer expressing her desire to tell this person how she feels more naturally, and that her heart always rushes ahead and longs to reach out to them. The lyrics repeatedly say "If I could tell you" as if expressing the frustration of being unable to speak their heart's truth.


The song emphasizes the closeness between the two individuals and how this connection is incredibly valuable to the singer. They hope that their relationship can remain as intimate as it is, so the confession of feelings might only destroy what they already have. However, the singer still wishes for a chance to express their emotions, hoping the other person feels the same way so that they can take a step closer and be honest with each other.


Overall, "If" by TaeYeon ft. JOO is an emotional and heartfelt song, expressing the internal struggles of holding back feelings towards someone close to the heart. It perfectly captures the fear and longing that comes with wanting to confess to someone, emphasizing the importance of being sincere and honest with those we care about.
