Like a child, I couldn’t speak
Feels like something’s missing, what do I do?
My head spins
Is this the half I’ve been looking for? Just thinking about it
Makes me smile and dazed

Secretly, softly
Because of the half I didn’t know
I think I’m being drawn to you
Even without seeing, we’re each other’s half
I guess so

The more I know, the more we seem alike
Maybe in each other’s hearts
We’re becoming one
Are we pulling each other?
You must feel the same as I do

I don’t feel bad
I guess you weren’t my half
I guess I liked all 24 hours
Even if I try to divide, I can’t
Naturally, softly

I think I’m being drawn to you
Even without seeing, we’re each other’s half
I guess so
Because of the half you took
The more I know, the more we seem alike

We’re becoming one
I can’t hide it anymore, my heart, us two
Your heart, my heart, halves come together
I’ve been hoping to become one
Even without seeing, we’re each other’s half
ne-ga ga-jyeo-gan nae ban-jjok ttae-mun-e
al-myeon deo al-su-rok dal-ma-it-na bwa

Because of the half you took
The more I know, the more we seem alike
Maybe in each other’s hearts
We’re becoming one
The lyrics poetically convey the enchanting and overwhelming sensation of finding one’s destined soulmate, framed beautifully as discovering a missing other half. Experiencing a sudden, dizzying loss of words upon the very first encounter, the narrator describes an invisible, magnetic pull that naturally draws them closer to their partner. As time passes and they find themselves growing increasingly alike, the division between individual hearts completely blurs, transforming a secret crush into a profound reality where two pieces effortlessly merge to become vibrantly united in an indivisible harmony.
