일기 속엔 오래된 사진 그 아래
서툰 글씨로 조심스럽게 전한 맘
타임머신을 타고서
너와 마주하고 있는 기분
기억 속의 어느 날처럼 선명해
창문 사이로 본 주홍빛의 노을과
제자리에 멈춰 서서
너와 함께 바라봤던 하늘

마치 조각조각 흩어졌던
퍼즐이 완성되듯
감당할 수도 없이 내게와
한 장 한 장을 넘길수록
자꾸 되살아나는 너와 나의 이야기
(You and I together)

빼곡히 써 내려갔던 우리만의 언어
깊숙이 숨겨두었던 서랍 속의 기억
잔잔했던 때론 아렸던
너와 내가 있는 곳
조금은 바래버린 너의 이름
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

조그맣게 접어둔 페이지 속엔
우리 얘기로 가득 차 있는 낙서와
주고받은 장난스런 대화에
나도 몰래 나는 웃음 Oh

마치 조각조각 흩어졌던
퍼즐이 완성되듯
감당할 수도 없이 내게와
한 장 한 장을 넘길수록
자꾸 되살아나는 너와 나의 이야기
(You and I together)

빼곡히 써 내려갔던 우리만의 언어
깊숙이 숨겨두었던 서랍 속의 기억
잔잔했던 때론 아렸던
너와 내가 있는 곳
조금은 바래버린 너의 이름

훌쩍 커버린
너와 날 상상하곤 했었던
시간이 지나 다시 꺼내본 너 와
나의 이야기 속에 선
[미/세] You and I together

영원히 함께하자던 우리만의 약속
(우리만의 약속)
쓸쓸히 내게 남은 건 오래된 기억
(오래된 기억)
다정했던 조금 어렸던
너와 내가 있는 곳
아직은 잊지 못한 너의 이름

[나/샐] Always in my heart
[나/샐] I’ll never forget your love
걷잡을 수도 없이 내게 와 넌
[해/미] Always in my heart
[해/미] I’ll never forget your love
그 모습 그대로 넌 내게 와

## English

In my diary, under an old photo
Carefully, in poor handwriting I wrote my heart
Feels like I’m on a time machine
And I’m in front of you
Like that day in my memory
It’s so clear
The orange sunset through the window
We stopped in place and looked at the sky together

As if a broken puzzle was coming together
You came to me
And I couldn’t handle it
The more pages I flipped through
It kept coming back to life, the story of you and I
(You and I together)

Our own language that we wrote
Memories that I hid deep inside my drawer
Sometimes calm, sometimes painful
The place where you and I are
Your name that has faded a little
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

In the folded paper
There’s scribbles of our stories
At our playful conversation
I start to laugh without knowing

As if a broken puzzle was coming together
You came to me
And I couldn’t handle it
The more pages I flipped through
It kept coming back to life, the story of you and I
(You and I together)

Our own language that we wrote
Memories that I hid deep inside my drawer
Sometimes calm, sometimes painful
The place where you and I are
Your name that has faded a little

You’ve grown up so much
The time that we’ve imagined has passed
I’m standing in the story of you and I
That I took out again
(You and I together)

Our promise to be together forever
(Our promise)
But the only thing that remains is an old memory
(Old memory)
We were affectionate, we were young
The place where you and I are
Your name that I can’t forget yet

Always in my heart
I’ll never forget your love
You come to me, I can’t even grasp it
Always in my heart
I’ll never forget your love
Just as you were, you come to me
