Lyrics

Korean

So I switch off That wake up call 해가 떨어진 지 한참은 돼야 생활이 가능했던 내 시간표 턱없이 부족한 시간임을 알면서도 굳이 널 보려고 황급히 찾아가 봤지만 금방이라도 나가버릴 듯한 네 집 등은 우리의 사이를 표현하듯 On and off And on and off and on 소홀해져 버린 나를 꾸짖듯이 깜빡이는 등이 네가 투정이라도 부리듯이 벌써 이게 몇 번째야 내가 덜렁대 의미 없는 감정싸움에 할퀴고 상처 내는 서로 더 멀어지지 않게 넌 선을 지키고 있지만 내 평판은 이미 바닥이지 너의 친구들 사이에서 So I switch off 너를 꺼둘게 So I switch off 나를 깨우게 So I switch off 널 잊어 보려 하거든 So I keep up with my own thing Don’t keep up with my 소식 I need more of that wake up calls That wake up call 여전히 깜빡이는 등을 끄고 뒤돌아서면 흔들거리는 백열등 같아 깜빡깜빡 금방이라도 꺼질 것 같아 깜빡깜빡 깜빡 깜빡거리는 걸 깜빡깜빡 거리며 흔들리는 나인데 벽에 보란 듯이 붙여 논 사진 속 너와 내 얼굴엔 행복해 죽겠다는 듯하지만 지금은 찾아볼 수 없지 죽어라 인상 쓰기 바쁘니까 Nobody loves that 싸우고 싶은 게 어딨어 도대체 널 울리고 싶은 게 어딨어 말도 안 되는 말들로 날 붙잡았다 밀쳤다 서로에게 유리한 일들만 기억해뒀다 지웠다 And that’s a chaos Who loves more who loves more 둘 중 누가 몇 번 더 그만하자 말했고 누가 더 지쳐있는지를 끝까지 알아야겠다는 널 더 이상은 내가 더 감당할 수 없을 거 같아 So I switch off 너를 꺼둘게 So I switch off 나를 깨우게 So I switch off 널 잊어 보려 하거든 So I keep up with my own thing Don’t keep up with my 소식 I need more of that wake up calls That wake up call 여전히 깜빡이는 등을 끄고 뒤돌아서면 흔들거리는 백열등 같아 깜빡깜빡 금방이라도 꺼질 것 같아 깜빡깜빡 깜빡 깜빡거리는 걸 깜빡깜빡 거리며 흔들리는 나인데 벽에 보란 듯이 붙여 논 (I’ve been awaken all night long) 사진 속 너와 나의 얼굴엔 아직 미련이 보여 왜 보기 싫은 건데 눈이 시려와 너를 잠시 꺼둘래 꺼둘래 흔들거리는 백열등 같아 깜빡깜빡 금방이라도 꺼질 것 같아 깜빡깜빡 깜빡 깜빡거리는 걸 깜빡깜빡 거리며 흔들리는 나인데 깜빡 깜빡거리는 걸 깜빡깜빡 거리며 So I switch off 널 잊어 보려 하거든 So I keep up with my own thing Don’t keep up with my 소식 I need more of that wake up calls That wake up call 여전히 깜빡이는 등을 끄고 뒤돌아서면

English

So I switch off That wake up call It hasn't been long since the Sun went down My timetable of living Even though I know it's not enough time to see you I'm hurrying to visit At any moment, the light bulb in your house will turn off As if to express our relationship is On and off, and on and off and on Like scolding me for being neglected A flickering light, as if you were whining How many times has this happened already? I'm careless, in a battle of meaningless emotions Scratching and hurting each other so that it doesn't die away You are keeping the good, because my reputation is already bad with your friends So I switch off, I'll turn you off So I switch off, waking me up So I switch off I'm trying to forget you, so I keep up with my own thing Don't keep up with my updates I need more of that wake up calls, that wake up call I'm turning off the blinking lights, when I look back It's like a flickering light bulb Blinking, blinking I think it's gonna turn off any minute Blinking, blinking It's blinking, blinking Blinking and blinking I am the one shaking Hung on the wall like a landscape, you and me in a picture We looked happy, I can't find it now We're too busy frowning, nobody loves that There's nothing you want to argue about Why the hell would I want to make you cry with nonsense? You grabbed me and pushed me, the only thing we're good at I remembered and erased it, and that's a chaos Who loves more, who loves more, which one of us said "let's break up" more Let's stop with that I need to know if you're tired of it I'm no longer here, I don't think I can handle it So I switch off, I'll turn you off So I switch off, waking me up So I switch off I'm trying to forget you, so I keep up with my own thing Don't keep up with my updates I need more of that wake up calls That wake up call I'm turning off the blinking lights, when I look back It's like a flickering light bulb Blinking, blinking I think it's gonna turn off any minute Blinking, blinking It's blinking, blinking Blinking and blinking I am the one shaking Hung on the wall like a landscape, you and me in a picture (I've been awaken all night long) I still have feelings for you, why don't you want to see it? With a cold stare, I'm gonna turn you off for a while It's like a flickering light bulb Blinking, blinking I think it's gonna turn off any minute Blinking, blinking It's blinking, blinking Blinking and blinking I am the one shaking It's blinking, blinking Blinking and blinking So I switch off I'm trying to forget you, so I keep up with my own thing Don't keep up with my updates I need more of that wake up calls That wake up call I'm turning off the blinking lights, when I look back
