Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

내 어깨에 기대
눈을 감아도 돼
햇살은 네 눈썹에
내려앉았고 yeah yeah

깊은 잠이 들어도
낯선 공기가 날 깨워
우린 다음 역에서
드디어 보게 될 거야
만나게 될 거야

꿈에서처럼 그림 같아
가장 아름다운 세상은

My love is like water
네 아픈 곳을 채우는
패인 상처들을 감싸고
꼭 안아줘
널 다시 일어나게 해

I need you to hold me
정해져있어 우린
서로 더 채워주고 토닥여
널 낫게 해
Like water water

날 살아있게 해 yeah yeah
너라는 의미 I know
And I just wanna thank you for
Believing in me, umm, ah

부서지는 듯 몰아쳐도
파돈 어느새 바다의 품으로
이 길의 끝이란 운명처럼
모두 네게 흐르고 있어

I want you to love me
네 아픔 나도 느껴져
푹 패인 상처들을 감싸고
안아줄게
널 다시 일어나게 해

I need you to hold me
정해져있어 우린
서로 더 채워주고 토닥여
널 낫게 해
Always like water

넌 나를 비추네
Like you're water to me




네가 눈 뜰 때쯤엔 yeah
다 괜찮을 거야 umm, umm
