## Korean

You owe me sleep
밤새 얘기하며
오늘의 달과 별 너에게 보내
Seoul to LA, hm
이유 별거 없지
눈 감아보면 내게 제일
선명하게 떠오르네
바보 같은 걸 알지
너는 저 멀리에 있는데

부족해 난 너 없인
완벽할 수 없지
흐트러져가는 소음일 뿐
잃어버린 그 something
미완성의 우리
I'll do anything to get back to you, you

Life is but a dream, we got history
(I just wanna)
Feel the chemistry
Feel you next to me
(You know that I)
Hate this distance
'Cause I'm just left here singing
Lonely harmonies, broken melodies (Ah)
Love-drunk energy, I'm in ocean deep (Ah)
Oh, I hate this distance
And I hate singing

I lay awake
나의 머릿속엔
너의 목소리만 repeat
멈춰지지 않지
Oh, 알아
네가 있기에 아름다웠던
나의 찬란한 순간
내 전부인 너 for you
다시 되찾고 싶어
꿈은 바래지지 않기에

공허해 난 너 없인
완전할 수 없지 (Oh)
듣고 싶지 않은 소음일 뿐
닿지 못한 그 something
미완성의 우리
I’ll do anything to get back to you, you

Life is but a dream, we got history
(I just wanna)
Feel the chemistry
Feel you next to me
(You know that I)
Hate this distance
'Cause I'm just left here singing
Lonely harmonies, broken melodies (Ah)
Love-drunk energy, I'm in ocean deep (Ah)
Oh, I hate this distance
And I hate singing

Broken melodies

[CHENLE/MARK] I don't have wings, but I'm flying
There's no perfect timing
This could turn into something
Let's turn it into something, yeah
Green light, I'm ready to go

달려갈게 지금 네게로 (지금 네게로)
힘껏 뛰어들어 초록빛으로 (Oh yeah)
I ain't scared no more
Oh-oh, 난 너에게로 dive in, yeah

Even when the skies are grey and
We don't see the light of day, I
Keep fighting, 모두 뺏긴 채
종말 앞에 내게 쏟아지는
Purple rain, ah
Don't need protection
희망의 절벽 끝에선
네 미소 하나면 돼
I'll never die
Guess I finally get back to you

Life is but a dream, we got history
(I just wanna)
Feel the chemistry (Ooh)
Feel you next to me (Oh)
(You know that I)
Hate this distance (Hate this distance)
'Cause I'm just left here singing (Oh, singing)
Lonely harmonies, broken melodies (Lonely harmonies, oh)
Love-drunk energy, I'm in ocean deep (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah)
Oh, I hate this distance (Hate this distance)
And I hate singing

Broken melodies

## English Translation

You owe me sleep
On the phone with you all night
Sending the moon and stars your way
Seoul to LA
No particular reason
Only that when I close my eyes you are
The most vivid thing I see
Makes no sense, I know
When you're so far from me

Something missing without you
Nothing completes
Everything's clutter and noise
Something that's been lost
Our story's unfinished
I’ll do anything to get back to you, you

Life is but a dream, we got history
(I just wanna)
Feel the chemistry
Feel you next to me
(You know that I)
Hate this distance
'Cause I'm just left here singing
Lonely harmonies, broken melodies (Ah)
Love-drunk energy, I'm in ocean deep (Ah)
Oh, I hate this distance
And I hate singing

I lay awake
Inside my head
Your voice is on repeat
Can't make it stop
Oh, I know
You made them beautiful
My shining moments
You're my all for you
Want it back because
Dreams don't fade

I'm empty without you
Nothing completes (Oh)
Everything's unwelcome noise
That unreachable Something
Our story's unfinished
I’ll do anything to get back to you, you

Life is but a dream, we got history
(I just wanna)
Feel the chemistry
Feel you next to me
(You know that I)
Hate this distance
'Cause I'm just left here singing
Lonely harmonies, broken melodies (Ah)
Love-drunk energy, I'm in ocean deep (Ah)
Oh, I hate this distance
And I hate singing

Broken melodies

[CHENLE/MARK] I Don’t have wings But I’m flying
There’s no perfect timing
This could turn into something
Let's turn it into something, yeah
Green light I’m ready to go

On my way right now (Right now)
Green lights here I go (Oh, yeah)
I ain't scared no more
Oh-oh, I dive into you, yeah

Even when the skies are grey and
We don't see the light of day, I
Keep fighting, even if everything's taken away
As the world ends, pour over me
Purple rain, ah
Don’t need protection
This could be the end of hope
But one smile from you, and
I'll never die
Guess I finally get back to you

Life is but a dream, we got history
(I just wanna)
Feel the chemistry (Ooh)
Feel you next to me (Oh)
(You know that I)
Hate this distance (Hate this distance)
'Cause I'm just left here singing (Oh, singing)
Lonely harmonies, broken melodies (Lonely harmonies, oh)
Love-drunk energy, I'm in ocean deep (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah)
Oh, I hate this distance (Hate this distance)
And I hate singing
