튕기면 왜 화가 나는지 난 모르겠어
넌 가끔 비가 올 때 왜 전화하는지
목소린 왜 듣고싶은지 난 알고싶어
참 많이 웃고 울던 시간들
아무도 우리 사일 나눌 순 없어
남자로 보이는 걸 가끔씩은
너의 손이 날 스칠 때
사실은 설레긴 해 나의 마음
단 둘이 긴 밤을 지샐 때
하지만 우린 언제나 변함 없는 Best friend **
난 가끔 니 전화를 왜 훔쳐보는지
너한텐 왜 비밀인건지 난 모르겠어
넌 가끔 내가 울 때 왜 안아주는지
가슴은 왜 두근대는지 난 알고싶어
모든 걸 함께해온 추억들
서로의 마음깊이 새겨져있어
** repeat
(운전할 때) 너 없으면 매일 실수하고
(사랑인 걸) 너만 보면 행복해
꿈을 꿔 이 마음 너도 나와 같은 맘인지
온종일 날 보며 너는 무슨 생각해
** repeat
넌 내게 친구일까 사랑일까
나는 니가 참 좋은데
널 잃고싶지않아 영원토록
넌 내게 너무나 소중해
너없인 나도 없는 걸 나의 사랑 Best friend
The lyrics of Younha's song "Best Friend" express the confusion and mixed feelings of a friendship that borders on something more. When the singer feels lonely and vulnerable, she seeks out her friend and wonders why she finds comfort in his presence. At the same time, she questions why he calls her during rainy days, and why she feels the need to listen to his voice. However, despite this ambiguity, the two maintain an unbreakable bond as best friends, sharing laughter, tears, and memories that are deeply etched in their hearts to the point that it is almost impossible for anyone to come between them. Even though the two may have romantic feelings for each other, they are meant to stay the way they are, as the song suggests that their status as best friends is "unchanging."
One of the striking themes of the song is the idea of crossing boundaries between friendship and romance. As the singer describes the moments when her friend's hand brushes against hers, or when they spend long nights together, it becomes clear that their feelings for each other run deep. At the same time, the lyrics emphasize that their friendship is paramount, since it is the one thing that will never change. They may not be able to control the way they feel, but they can always rely on each other, no matter what.
Another aspect of the song is the idea of longing and insecurity. The lyrics capture the fragility of relationships by showing the singer's constant need for reassurance and understanding from her friend. She wants to know why he does certain things, why he keeps things from her, and why he doesn't always react the way she would expect him to. This hints at the idea that even the closest of friendships are not without their flaws, and that people must constantly work to sustain and strengthen them over time.
