횡단보도 흰 줄 위에 숨 한 번 고르고 노란 불이 깜빡일 때 마음도 흔들려 줄 세운 불씨처럼 우리 둘도 떠오르고 누가 후 불면 바로 어두워질 것 같아 고인 물 위에 간판 빛이 번지고 익숙한데 오늘은 좀 낯설어 바다 밑에 묻은 줄 알았던 말들 어이없게 tonight, 다시 올라와 괜찮단 말은 사실 별 뜻 없고 입이 먼저 반사처럼 튀어나와 You turned something on inside my chest 스위치 잘못 내린 느낌이야, no rest 창문 틈 새어 나오는 노란 불빛 그 안에 거품 같던 하루들 다 씻긴 줄 알았는데 향만 남아 또 고개 든다 Under city embers, we’re just tiny lights 꺼진 줄 알던 마음이 또 반짝해 tonight I thought it’s over, but it’s coming back slow Life is brief, not a highlight show 네온 사이로 흘러가는 our time 잡지 않아도 돼, 오늘 밤 Under city embers, flicker in your eyes 잠깐의 불꽃이어도 난 좋아 this vibe 문 열자 따뜻한 김만 남아 있고 젖은 수건은 대충 걸려 말라가 섞인 향 사이로 네가 떠오르고 깨끗할수록 이상하게 흔적이 남아 창문에 남은 것들이 희미하게 빛나고 혼잣말로 옛 생각 몇 개 흘리고 농담 던질 타이밍도 또 놓치고 너였으면 웃었을까 싶어, 헛된 계산만 늘고 Your rhythm is different from mine 그래서 더 맞추고 싶었지, at that time 너는 무심하게 박자 타고 나는 기타 줄만 괴롭히던 밤 세면대 옆 굴러다니는 칫솔 둘 이젠 하나는 쓰지도 않는데 버리긴 또 묘하게 허전해서 그냥 둔 채 하루가 지나가 Under city embers Under city embers, we’re just fleeting lights 지울수록 더 또렷해지는 tonight I said “I’m fine”, but my face says no Life is brief, not a perfect show 비 오기 전 공기 같은 느낌 말 안 해도 알 것 같은 tension Under city embers, flicker in your eyes 금방 꺼질 빛이어도 난 좋아 good night 솔직히 말해 I don’t miss the drama 네 half joke, half trauma 이상하게 아직도 quotable 머릿속 timeline에 떠다녀, floatable 너는 너대로 다른 beat 타고 나는 또 별거 아닌 rhyme을 짓고 This song might turn into your scene 무대도 아닌데 spotlight 비친 느낌 비 오면 다 씻겨 갈까 아님 얼룩만 남을까 If we dissolve like sugar in the rain 사라지는 것도 괜찮을지, just saying Under city embers, we’re just tiny lights 꺼질까 말까 하며 또 버티는 tonight I thought it’s over, but it’s looping back slow Life is brief, not a grand show 너와 나 사이 작은 틈에서 불씨 하나가 다시 튀어나와 Under city embers, flicker in your eyes 이 정도 거리면 나쁘지 않은 goodbye 창밖 불빛이 벽에 찍어 둔 패턴들 그 안에 네 얼굴 한 번 넣어 보고 I say “no” and “good night” to myself 이쯤이면 웃고 넘겨도 될 것 같아
English
I take a breath on the white lines of the crosswalk When the yellow light starts blinking, my heart wavers too Like sparks lined up, the two of us rise again Feels like one breath could blow us straight into the dark Signboard lights spread across pooled water Familiar, yet somehow strange tonight Words I thought were buried under the sea Come back up, absurdly, tonight Saying “I’m okay” doesn’t really mean much My mouth blurts it out first, like a reflex You turned something on inside my chest Feels like I flipped the wrong switch, no rest Yellow light leaking through a crack in the window Days that felt like bubbles inside it I thought they were all washed away But the scent lingers and lifts its head again Under city embers, we’re just tiny lights A heart I thought was out flickers again tonight I thought it’s over, but it’s coming back slow Life is brief, not a highlight show Our time drifting between neon signs No need to hold on, tonight Under city embers, flicker in your eyes Even if it’s a brief spark, I like this vibe When the door opens, only warm steam remains A damp towel hung carelessly, drying slowly Among the mixed scents, you come to mind The cleaner it gets, the stranger the traces remain Things left on the window faintly glow I let a few old thoughts slip out as self-talk Miss the timing to throw in a joke again Wonder if you would’ve laughed—pointless calculations pile up Your rhythm is different from mine That’s why I wanted to match it, at that time You rode the beat without a care While I spent the night torturing guitar strings Two toothbrushes rolling by the sink One of them isn’t even used anymore Throwing it away feels oddly empty So I leave it, and another day passes Under city embers Under city embers, we’re just fleeting lights The more I try to erase it, the clearer tonight becomes I said “I’m fine”, but my face says no Life is brief, not a perfect show Like the air right before it rains A tension you can feel without words Under city embers, flicker in your eyes Even if it’s a light that’ll go out soon, I like it, good night Honestly, I don’t miss the drama Your half joke, half trauma Strangely, it’s still quotable Floating around my mental timeline, floatable You move to your own different beat And I write another not-so-special rhyme This song might turn into your scene Feels like a spotlight hit me, even offstage If it rains, will everything wash away Or will only the stains remain If we dissolve like sugar in the rain Would it be okay to disappear too, just saying Under city embers, we’re just tiny lights Holding on, unsure if we’ll go out or not tonight I thought it’s over, but it’s looping back slow Life is brief, not a grand show In the small gap between you and me A single spark jumps out again Under city embers, flicker in your eyes At this distance, it’s not a bad goodbye Patterns of light stamped on the wall from outside I try fitting your face into them once I say “no” and “good night” to myself At this point, it feels okay to just laugh it off
