  1. I wish that I could tell you that it's over (over)

    I wish that I could tell you that it's over (over)

  2. I wish that I could walk away from pain

    I wish that I could walk away from pain

  3. My life is like a broken roller coaster

    My life is like a broken roller coaster

  4. But maybe I'm the only one to blame

    But maybe I'm the only one to blame

  5. I can't get off this merry-go-round

    I can't get off this merry-go-round

  6. It spins me around (around, around)

    It spins me around (around, around)

  7. I do my best, but I can't slow down

    I do my best, but I can't slow down

  8. This merry-go-round

    This merry-go-round

  9. And I, I can't get off of this ride

    And I, I can't get off of this ride

  10. (I can't get off of this ride)

    (I can't get off of this ride)

  11. I try, this happens every time

    I try, this happens every time

  12. (I can't get off of this ride)

    (I can't get off of this ride)

  13. 어른이 같은 기분이지만

    It feels like I've become an adult,

  14. 고민은 여전하지 (oh, yeah, oh, yeah)

    But the worries remain the same (oh, yeah, oh, yeah)

  15. 매일 같은 일상 회전목마나

    Like a carousel in this same daily routine,

  16. 쳇바퀴나 매한가지 (매한가지)

    It’s all the same as a hamster wheel (the same)

  17. Oh, 답이 없는 질문

    Oh, a question without an answer,

  18. 미궁 속에서의 질주

    Racing through a labyrinth,

  19. 다들 괜찮은 척하며

    Everyone pretends to be okay,

  20. 웃고 있지 모두 다, 다, 다,

    Smiling all together, all, all, all, all

  21. I wish that I could tell you that it's over (over)

    I wish that I could tell you that it's over (over)

  22. I wish that I could walk away from pain

    I wish that I could walk away from pain

  23. My life is like a broken roller coaster

    My life is like a broken roller coaster

  24. But maybe I'm the only one to blame

    But maybe I'm the only one to blame

  25. I can't get off this merry-go-round

    I can't get off this merry-go-round

  26. It spins me around (around, around)

    It spins me around (around, around)

  27. I do my best, but I can't slow down

    I do my best, but I can't slow down

  28. This merry-go-round

    This merry-go-round

  29. And I, I can't get off of this ride

    And I, I can't get off of this ride

  30. (I can't get off of this ride)

    (I can't get off of this ride)

  31. I try, this happens every time

    I try, this happens every time

  32. (I can't get off of this ride)

    (I can't get off of this ride)

  33. Spinnin' up, down, just round and round

    Spinnin' up, down, just round and round

  34. I'm fallin' apart, still bound to ground

    I'm fallin' apart, still bound to ground

  35. 멈출 없는 굴레 동심이 소리치잖아 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

    In this unending loop, my childlike spirit cries out (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

  36. 없이 만큼 탔으니, please, take me out, ma

    I've ridden enough to my heart's content, please, take me out, ma

  37. 침대는 나의 관, my bed is my coffin

    My bed is my coffin, my resting place

  38. 어쩜 세상은 거대한 caffeine

    Is my world just one giant caffeine high?

  39. 매일 죽으러 꿈을 없나?

    Every day, can’t I pull away from the dream to take you down?

  40. 멈출 없는 춤을 추고 있잖아

    I'm dancing a dance that just won’t stop, you know?

  41. 생각에, 생각에, 생각에, 생각

    Lost in thought, in thought, in thought, in thought

  42. 생각하지 말잔 생각을

    I'm thinking thoughts I promised not to think

  43. 빙글 빙글 행복하니?

    Spinning around, are you happy?

  44. 웃어 끝까지

    Smile for me, until the end
