Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On my mind everyday till I lose control
インスタを教えた頃からずっと
君に飛んでいきたいlike Apollo
Ooooooh
Like Apollo
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Like Apollo
All my life 君といたい
Before I know you に戻れない
ずっと感じたい
でも今は会えてもない
心痛い
I just wanna feel something
You be on my mind, every single night
You don't even try, but you look so fine
I just need some time, I'ma make it right
見られてないけどやめたくない
Don't play with me heart
You tore it apart
希望失いそうになってもこれ以外ない
いやとりあえず
一期一会
I just can't forget
君の所へ
飛ぶ Call me fighter jet
I just wanna be all right
I just wanna be all right
I could make you shine bright like VVS
Put that ice up on your chest
俺だけをみて
Wish you'd see it from my POV
Electric like 雷
Yeah we got electricity
직진 네게 다가갔지
찾아보려 뭘까 너와 나의 공통점이
너는
어디까지 가야 볼수 있을지
도착하려 할때 마다 너는 멀어짐
또 신을 신어 I'm ready to run
I'm ready to run
Maybe you're not there
난 아무것도 신경쓰기 싫은데
너는 나를 자꾸 신경쓰게 하잖아
아직도 looking everywhere 또 너를 찾으려 하고있네
아직도 헤매고 있네 너가 여기 있었으면 해
아직도 널 기다리잖아 거기 똑같은 그 자리에
멀어져가는 널 잡지못하니까 되돌려 I gotta run it back
결국엔 널 찾아 어디에
우리는 또 다른 행성에
중독돼 의미없는 chase
항상 어긋나버려 pace
돌아봐 난 여기에
아무것도 못하고 넌 저기에
잡아줄게 넘어질때
너가 어디있던 달려갈께
いやとりあえず
I'm your head space huh
你一直发梦想
说你的心在我这
Saying that I am too far
If you could you come to me
By any means you would but
我怎么知道你有跟其他
Women, 实话来讲
我不确认有没有一个我们
So many men talk out they ass
It's only a smash and pass
追我的多得是
发誓只有我一个
不要来搞事
I can have you tonight but leave you tomorrow

아무것도 못하고 넌 저기에
I can't do anything and you're over there
잡아줄게 넘어질때
I'll catch you when you stumble

我怎么知道你有跟其他
How would I know if you're with someone else
Women, 实话来讲
Women, to be honest
我不确认有没有一个我们
I'm not sure if there's an 'us'
So many men talk out they ass
So many men talk nonsense
It's only a smash and pass
It's only a casual encounter and then they move on
追我的多得是
There are many who pursue me
发誓只有我一个
I swear there's only me
不要来搞事
Don't come causing trouble
I can have you tonight but leave you tomorrow
I can have you tonight but leave you tomorrow
