Lyrics

Original

어두운 밤이 모둘 재울 때 모두 잠에 들 때 수많은 생각에 잠 못 이루지 그저 뭐라도 떠오를까 기댈 하며 아침 해가 모둘 깨울 때까지 wait 모두 방 불을 끌 때 알람을 맞출 때 피곤할 때 고민들은 눈을 떠 오늘 하루 잘 보냈나 돌아보며 내일은 뭘 하지 뭐지 알람 소리 땡 뭐, 복잡하지만 다 신경 쓰지마 잠을 깨면 전부 사라질 거야 꿈에서조차 나를 따라다니지만 다 잊혀질꺼야 이렇게 잊으려 애써도 나타나 이젠 더는 휩쓸리기 싫어 이불을 구기고, 소리를 쳐봐도 결국엔 난 다시 일어나 I can't sleep So tell me 오늘 밤도 결국엔 awake 내일 밤도 아마 이럴 듯해 So tell me now, I'll find a way 내일 밤도 난 There is no other way I can't sleep No way 다 Go away 학교에선 잠만 오는데 뭘 해 Go away 다 조용해 잠이나 잘래 쉿 I just want you to know I can't take it anymore 자야 할 땐 잠에 들 수 없어 So tell me now 뭐, 복잡하지만 다 신경 쓰지마 잠을 깨면 전부 사라질 거야 꿈에서조차 나를 따라다니지만 다 잊혀질꺼야 이렇게 잊으려 애써도 나타나 이젠 더는 휩쓸리기 싫어 이불을 구기고, 소리를 쳐봐도 결국엔 난 다시 일어나 I can't sleep So tell me 오늘 밤도 결국엔 awake 내일 밤도 아마 이럴 듯해 So tell me now, I'll find a way 내일 밤도 난 There is no other way I can't sleep 아침에 눈을 떠 잠에서 깼을 때 전보단 조금 더 후련했음 해 좋았던 꿈을 꿨던 밤이면 해 언젠가 밤하늘 안에 잠이 든 태양처럼 편안하게 잠이 들래 더 빛날 내일을 위해서 I can't sleep So tell me So just tell me 오늘 밤도 결국엔 awake 내일 밤도 아마 이럴 듯해 So tell me now, I'll find a way 내일 밤도 난 There is no other way I can't sleep I can't sleep

When the dark night makes everyone sleep, when they fall asleep I can't sleep because of so many thoughts Just expecting to come up with an idea I wait until the morning sun wakes all up, wait When I turn off all the lights when I set the alarm When I'm tired worries come to my mind I look back on my day What am I going to do tomorrow? What? The alarm rings It's complicated but don't worry about everything When I wake up everything will be gone It's following me even in my dream But everything will be forgotten Even if I try to forget them they appear over and over I don't want to be swayed anymore Even if I grab the sheets and shout In the end, I wake up again I can't sleep So tell me I stay awake again tonight Maybe tomorrow night, too So tell me now, I'll find a way Tomorrow night, too there is no other way I can't sleep No way all go away I'm only sleepy at school what can I do? Go away All be quiet I'll just sleep, shush I just want you to know I can't take it anymore I can't sleep when I have to So tell me now Well, it's complicated but don't worry about everything When I wake up zverything will be gone It's following me zven in my dream But everything will be forgotten Even if I try to forget them they appear over and over I don't want to be swayed anymore Even if I grab the sheets and shout In the end, I wake up again I can't sleep So tell me I stay awake again tonight Maybe tomorrow night, too So tell me now, I'll find a way Tomorrow night, too there is no other way I can't sleep When I open my eyes in the morning and wake up I hope I feel more relieved than before Someday I hope it was a night with a good dream Like the sun sleeping in the night sky I want to sleep comfortably For a brighter tomorrow I can't sleep So tell me So just tell me I stay awake again tonight Maybe tomorrow night, too So tell me now, I'll find a way Tomorrow night, too there is no other way I can't sleep I can't sleep
