  1. 서로를 닮아 기울어진

    A life that leans in the shape of each other

  2. 소원을 담아 차오르는

    The rising moon filled with wishes

  3. 하려다 괄호 속의

    Words trapped in parentheses left unsaid

  4. 이제야

    Finally, hmm hmm hmm

  5. 어디도 닿지 않는 나의

    My anchor, that doesn't touch anywhere

  6. 영원히 도착할 없는 같아

    You seem like an island I can never reach

  7. 헤매던

    Those wandering days

  8. 이제야

    Finally, hmm hmm hmm

  9. 기록하지 않아도

    Even without recording

  10. 내가 전부 기억할 테니까

    Because I'll remember you entirely

  11. 기다려

    Wait for me

  12. 기어이 우리가 만나면

    When we finally meet

  13. 시간의 테두리 바깥에서

    Outside the borders of time

  14. 과거를 밟지 않고 선다면

    If we can stand without stepping on the past

  15. 숨이 차게 춤을 추겠어

    I’ll dance until I can’t catch my breath

  16. 낮에도 밝지 않은 나의

    My outside isn’t bright even in the day

  17. 끝없는 남겨진

    An endless night, a half that's been left behind

  18. 어떨까 나와 같을까

    What about you, do you feel the same?

  19. 없음에 아파지던

    A heart that aches with the unknown

  20. 멀리 자유 위로 가자

    Let’s go further, above the freedom

  21. 내일이 우릴 찾지 못할

    In a place where tomorrow can’t find us

  22. 곳에서 기쁘게 만나

    Let’s meet joyfully

  23. 이제야 한눈에 찾지 못해도

    Now it’s okay if I can't find you at a glance

  24. 내가 알아볼 테니까

    Because I’ll recognize you

  25. 기다려

    Wait for me

  26. 기어이 우리가 만나면

    When we finally meet

  27. 시간의 테두리 바깥에서

    Outside the borders of time

  28. 과거를 밟지 않고 선다면

    If we can stand without stepping on the past

  29. 숨이 차게 춤을 추겠어

    I’ll dance until I can’t catch my breath

  30. 드디어

    Finally

  31. 기다림의 이유를 만나러

    To meet the reason for waiting

  32. 꿈결에도 잊지 않았던

    Even in dreams, I never forgot

  33. 잠결에도 잊을 없었던

    In my sleep, I couldn’t forget

  34. 너의 이름을 불러 줄게

    I’ll call your name

  35. 기다려

    Wait for me

  36. 잃어버렸던 되찾으러

    To bring back what I lost

  37. 엉키었던 시간을 견디어

    Enduring the tangled time

  38. 미래를 쫓지 않을 발로

    With two feet that won’t chase the future

  39. 숨이 차게 달려가겠어

    I’ll run until I can’t catch my breath

  40. 긴긴 서사를 거쳐

    Through a long, long narrative

  41. 비로소 줄로 적혀

    Finally written down as the first line

  42. 두려움 따윈 없어

    I have no fear

  43. 서로를 감아 포개어진

    A life entwined, wrapped around each other

  44. 그들을 가만 내려보는

    The moon quietly looks down at them

  45. 여전히 많아 하고 싶은

    There are still so many things I want to say

  46. 우리 하나 같아

    Look at us, we’re bound to be one
