Hello 넌 Stranger
Hello, you're a stranger
남은 건 별로 없어 Memories, memories, memories
There's not much left, just memories, memories, memories
안녕이라 했는데
I said goodbye
왜 넌 내 옆에 있어 그대로 그대로 그대로
Why are you still right next to me, just like that, just like that, just like that
어색했던 공기에
In the awkward air
웃음이 났어 왜
I couldn't help but laugh, why
너무 가까웠던
So close yet so distant
내 것이었던 My honey, my daisy
You were mine, my honey, my daisy
What do I call you 남이잖아
What do I call you, we're just strangers
별일 없던 척 말을 거나
Pretending everything's fine, just making small talk
그렇게 꼭 껴안았는데
I held you so tightly
So what do I call you now
What do I call you 이럴 때엔
What do I call you in times like this
이름이 역시 무난할까
Is a simple name still okay?
내 연인이었던 My honey, my daisy, my only
My lover, my honey, my daisy, my only
So what do I call you now
복잡한 밤이야
It's a complicated night
기대 반 장난 너를 불러내 불러내 불러내
With half expectation, I call you out, call you out, call you out
날 데리러 온 네게 기대
Leaning on you who came to pick me up
생각해
I think about it
궁금해
I'm curious
적당한 거리란 건 뭘까
What could a suitable distance be?
'Cause this isn't natural
널 매일 보는 걸
Seeing you every day
이젠 아는 사람
Now you're someone I know
내 것이었던My honey, my daisy
My honey, my daisy, you were once mine
What do I call you 남이잖아
What do I call you, you're a stranger now
별일 없던 척 말을 거나
Pretending like everything’s fine
그렇게 꼭 껴안았는데
I held you tight like that
So what do I call you now
What do I call you 이럴 때엔
What do I call you in times like this
이름이 역시 무난할까
Is a simple name still the best choice?
내 연인이었던 My honey, my daisy, my only
You were my love, my honey, my daisy, my only
So what do I call you now
모든 게 달라졌는데
Everything has changed, hasn't it?
편하진 않은데
It’s not easy, you know
넌 내 옆에 있고
You’re right here beside me
이제는 널 뭐라 부를까
So how should I call you now?
My baby, my honey, my daisy, my only
Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da
So what do I call you now
Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da
So what do I call you now
What do I call you 남이잖아
What should I call you, since you’re a stranger?
이름이 역시 무난할까
Is a simple name really enough?
그렇게 꼭 껴안았는데
I held you so tightly like that
So what do I call you now
So what name should I use for you now
