We're not supposed to be taken seriously

We just play around and tease.

We both know that.

So why did you take it as a surprise

when the public didn't get the joke?

 

You suddenly distanced yourself

and you made excuses.

Did you fall in?

Were you pulled into your own joke?

 

Jaemi eobsseo.

Its no fun without you.

Can't you join in again?

 

I love our games

I miss your laugh

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

When you try to be y

you bite your teeth together.

When you try to be cute

you blink your eyes rapidly.

When you try to impress

you sing and dance enthusiastically.

 

You're so amusing

and you're easy to tease.

 

Do your girlfriends tease you too?

Do you treat them nicely?

I'm sure you keep them entertained.

 

You're well-loved

and of course you know this

because you like to soak up the compliments.

 

But just know

that no one can tease you

and no one knows you

and no one loves you

as much as I do.

Remember when we first started?

On stage, everything is dark.

Its hard to see the audience

but they're surely out there.

 

We used to be so scared up there.

We walked the stage, afraid of falling.

All the lights blinded us.

The blaring music, we weren't used to it.

 

But now

the stage is a second home.

We're comfortable.

We can act natural

and jump around, fearless.

 

The stage is a shaking bed

A stable-enough couch

With invisible walls

where the audience watches outside

And the screams

are like the birds chirping in the lawn.

 

They watch and enjoy our company

as we simply sing and goof around

A tightly-knit family

I often live on my whims

If my mood changes, I change clothes.

If something suddenly clicks in my head,

I'll get a tattoo or dye my hair.

 

If a song suddenly comes to me,

I have to write it then and there.

I can't turn back

and I can't plan things far into the future.

 

I'm more spur-of-the-moment

I'm more of a hopeless romantic

 

So when plans are made for me

and I'm forced to keep a deadline

That's when the pressure comes in

and I lose sleep and I lose focus

 

I get close to breaking

as I push myself

and I lose the freedom to act on my whims.

 

But everything will be alright

Since it always has.
