I see you
I see you
너 이유 없이 웅크리고 싶은
You want to curl up without a reason
그럴 땐 내게 기대도 돼
In that moment, you can lean on me
괜찮다는 말은 하지 않기로 해
Let's agree not to say it's okay
그냥 하고 싶은 얘길 하면 돼
Just speak the words you long to share
혼자서만 삼켜야 했던
The thoughts you had to swallow alone
네 맘속의 이야기를
The stories in your heart
I see you
설렘 반짝이던 너의 눈빛을
The sparkle of excitement in your gaze
I see you
I see you
작은 두려움에 망설인 밤도
The nights when small fears kept you hesitating
I see you
Oh 언젠간 닿을 수 있단 믿음에
Oh, in the belief that we will touch someday
현실 속을 달려왔던 시간에
In this time we've spent running through reality
오랜 꿈의 무게 힘겨운 건 당연해
It's natural that the weight of a long-held dream is heavy
그럴 땐 그냥 쉬어가도 돼
In those moments, it's okay to take a break
Cuz I see you
Oh- (Cuz I see you)
출발선은 조금 늦었대도
Even if the starting line seems a bit late
너의 속도를 찾아가면 돼
You just need to find your own pace
힘이 들 땐 멈추진 못해도
When it gets tough, you may not be able to stop
깊은 숨을 쉬었으면 해
But I hope you'll take a deep breath
혼자서만 삼켜야 했던
The voice you had to swallow alone
네 맘속의 목소리를
In your heart
I see you
눈물 반짝이던 너의 눈빛을
The tears glistening in your eyes
I see you
I see you
작은 두려움에 뒤척인 밤도
The nights when small fears kept you tossing
I see you
Oh 왠지 맘이 울적할 땐 기억해
Oh, when your heart feels a bit gloomy, remember
무엇보다 소중한 건 너란 걸
The most precious thing is you above all else
오랜 꿈의 무게 힘겨운 건 당연해
It's natural that the weight of a long-held dream is heavy
내 손을 잡아 걸어가면 돼
You can walk with me holding my hand
Cuz I see you
Oh- (Cuz I see you)
Oh- (Cuz I see you)
Oh-
너 이유 없이 웅크리고 싶은
You want to curl up without a reason
그럴 땐 내게 기대도 돼
In that moment, you can lean on me
너의 맘이 잠시 쉬어갈 수 있게
So your heart can take a moment to rest
따스하게 너를 꼭 안아줄게
I will warmly hold you tight
