a melody that sounds half-slurred,
a caramel-colored waterfall,
we secretly met, just the two of us.

neo-reul bo-reo ga-neun geon da jo-a
everybody look at me, up on the clouds,
even if I trip while running, I don’t care,
everything is fine as long as I’m going to see you.

My candy love, my baby,
the dream is way too sweet,
I wish that when I open my eyes, you’re right next to me.

the hand I touched with yours felt so warm,
my lips kept trembling too much,
so I pretended not to know, like a fool,
my breathing keeps stopping,
it feels dizzy, like I’m dreaming.

the dream is way too sweet,
I wish that when I open my eyes, you’re right next to me.

gotta have you gotta love you
The lyrics describe a sugary daydream of first love, where sleepy voices, messy melodies, and secret meetings feel sweeter than reality itself. Love is compared to candy—soft, addictive, and overwhelmingly sweet—turning simple moments like holding hands or running to meet someone into something magical. Even dizziness and nervous excitement are embraced, as the speaker wishes this dreamlike sweetness would remain, lingering even after waking up.
