Theme and Concept
The song expresses the overwhelming emotions of desire and vulnerability in a romantic pursuit. The narrator is deeply in love, yet faced with uncertainty as they try to get closer to the object of their affections. The lyrics convey the inner turmoil of wanting to be noticed and loved in return, while battling the frustration of not being able to bridge the emotional distance. The recurring theme of “falling” represents the narrator’s emotional descent as they give more of themselves, but remain unsure of the other person’s feelings.

쉽지 않아 네 냉정과
내 열정 사이 그 온도 차
손 뻗어도 I can’t touch you
You better know what to do
널 향한 무의식 한 켠이
세차게 달린 시간
멈추지 않는 오랜 밤이
이어지고 있어
난 소리쳐
I wanna make you mine
말 건네고 싶지만
넌 까맣게 또 모르는 건지
You got me falling
I want you
널 원해 내 온 맘이
널 향한 내 심장이
All for you
한 걸음 더 가까이
네게 닿을 때까지
여전히 숨겨둔 나의 마음
마주치지 못할 두 눈
네 눈을 보면 또다시
돌아설 나인 걸
난 용기 내
I wanna make you mine
말 건네고 싶지만
넌 까맣게 또 모르는 건지
You got me falling
I want you
널 원해 내 온 맘이
널 향한 내 심장이
All for you
한 걸음 더 가까이
네게 닿을 때까지
I can’t let it go
내게 알려 줘 Is it yes or no?
Tell me, tell me
왜 넌 아직도 내 맘 모르죠
You’re my soul and
I’m just somebody
또 반복돼
I wanna make you mine
말 건네고 싶지만
난 너에게 헤어 나오지 못해
You got me falling
I want you
널 원해 내 온 맘이
널 향한 내 심장이
All for you
한 걸음 더 가까이
네게 닿을 때까지
I can’t let it go
내게 알려 줘 Is it yes or no?
Tell me, tell me
왜 넌 아직도 내 맘 모르죠
You’re my soul and
I’m just somebody, yeah
