Lyrics

Intro

mm-mm, yah

(heyi ya) ah-ah

Verse

I see the way you laugh from the other side of town

Window glow, paper cup, you walk with that crown

Phone screen lighting up your smile like a sign

I stay back, quiet track, pretending it's fine

You pass the corner bakery every Friday at four

I memorize the way your jacket folds, the little things I adore

I keep my distance like a secret in my sleeve

Watching slow-motion scenes I never will leave

Pre-chorus

My chest says move, my feet say stay

(oh-oh) I know every step you take

I count the moments, careful, polite

A private audience under streetlight, yeah

Chorus

I watch you from afar, from afar (ah-ah)

멀리서 널 보고 있어, 보고 있어 (ooh-ooh)

I watch you from afar, from afar (na-na)

You don't know I hold your midnight in my palms (my palms)

I watch you from afar, from afar (ah-ah)

멀리서 널 보고 있어, 보고 있어 (yah)

I watch you from afar, from afar (oh-oh)

Can't breathe the same air, but I breathe you in song

Verse

You don't know the playlist I made for your name

One dance at a time, I play it soft, I play it plain

A laugh that cracks like sunlight through the rain

I trace invisible lines that lead back to your lane

Sipping courage in small cups, I practice hello

But my tongue ties knots, and the moment won't go

So I keep counting stars that sit above your street

Front row to your life, but I never take a seat

Pre-chorus

My hands want more, my lips hold back

(oh-oh) your shadow walks across my map

I whisper nothing, and it fills the air

A silent promise that I keep right there

Chorus

I watch you from afar, from afar (ah-ah)

멀리서 널 보고 있어, 보고 있어 (ooh-ooh)

I watch you from afar, from afar (na-na)

You don't know I hold your midnight in my palms (my palms)

I watch you from afar, from afar (ah-ah)

멀리서 널 보고 있어, 보고 있어 (yah)

I watch you from afar, from afar (oh-oh)

Can't breathe the same air, but I breathe you in song

Bridge

Maybe one day my feet will learn the words to say

Maybe one day daylight will steal my fear away

But tonight I'm a silhouette behind a glass of time

Smiling at a scene that could never be mine

(ah-ah) I'm learning to be brave in small degrees

(ah-ah) Sending little smiles like birds across the breeze

If distance is a river, I'm keeping to the shore

But I'm cataloguing every line, wanting more

Chorus

I watch you from afar, from afar (ah-ah)

멀리서 널 보고 있어, 보고 있어 (ooh-ooh)

I watch you from afar, from afar (na-na)

You don't know I hold your midnight in my palms (my palms)

I watch you from afar, from afar (ah-ah)

멀리서 널 보고 있어, 보고 있어 (yah)

I watch you from afar, from afar (oh-oh)

Can't breathe the same air, but I breathe you in song

Outro

mm-mm, yah

(보고 있어, 보고 있어) ah-ah

mm-mm...
