Cover Me Lyrics by Stray Kids
Intro: Felix
On nights when the moon shines this bright
Verse 1: Hyunjin, Seungmin, I.N, Lee Know
Why do I feel so lonely in this night?
Is the dawn breeze some kind of magic?
Starry night hanging on my windowNow the sun rises, as I toss and turn in that bright light
Sitting on the edge of an unknowable loneliness
You don’t come
Feeling lost in the thick of it
Making me dizzy, someone hold me, no, no, no
Pre-Chorus: Felix
I don’t know
What should I do?
Even if I force myself to smile
Chorus: Han, Bang Chan
On nights when the moon shines this bright
I cry out, hoping for someone to cover that light
And when night suddenly turns into dayI accept the warm light shining down
Verse 2: Changbin, I.N, Bang Chan, Felix, *Lee Know*
Needle in a haystack, come find me
I’m not lonely, yet everything feels so cold
If only that light would reach out its hand to me
It will melt away all of this frozen emptiness
Yeah, I tried to hide away from all the sorrow and pain
But little did I know that I was going insane
The sun will always be there, waiting after the rain
*I want to close my eyes and smile, facing the sun*
Pre-Chorus: Changbin
I don’t know
What should I do?
Even if I force myself to smile
Chorus: Seungmin, I.N
On nights when the moon shines this bright
I cry out, hoping for someone to cover that light
And when night suddenly turns into day
I accept the warm light shining down
Bridge: Hyunjin, Seungmin, Bang Chan
I can’t take it anymore, what should I do?
(What should I do? What should I do?)
Today, pretend not to notice and close your eyes
So, cover me now
Cover me now
Chorus: Lee Know, Han, Bang Chan
On nights when the moon shines this bright (Oh)
I cry out, hoping for someone to cover that light (I cry out, hoping for someone to cover that light)
And when night suddenly turns into day (Oh, no, no)
I accept the warm light shining down (I accept the warm light shining down)
Original Cover Me Lyrics by Stray Kids
Intro: Felix
달이 이렇게 눈부시는 밤엔
Verse 1: Hyunjin, Seungmin, I.N, Lee Know
Why do I feel so lonely in this night?
새벽바람은 마법일까?
창문에 걸려 있는 starry night
저 밝은 빛에 뒤척이다 날이 샌다
이유를 알 수 없는 외로움에
걸터앉아 오지 않는 너
숱하게 피어 있는 방황에
어지러워 누가 나를 좀 안아줘, no, no, no
Pre-Chorus: Felix
I don’t know
뭘 해야 할지도
억지로 웃어 봐도
Chorus: Han, Bang Chan
달이 이렇게 눈부시는 밤엔
누가 저 빛을 가려주길 외쳐
밤이 어느새 끝이 나는 낮엔
따스한 빛을 내리쬐는 빛을 받아줘
Verse 2: Changbin, I.N, Bang Chan, *Felix*, Lee Know
Needle in a haystack, 나를 찾아줘
외롭진 않은데 모든 게 너무 차가워
저 빛의 손을 내게 기울인다면
그동안 얼어붙은 공허함을 녹여줘
Yeah, I tried to hide away from all the sorrow and pain
But little did I know that I was going insane
*The sun will always be there, waiting after the rain*
눈 감고서 햇빛을 바라보며 웃어 볼래
Pre-Chorus: Changbin
I don’t know
뭘 해야 할지도
억지로 웃어 봐도
Chorus: Seungmin, I.N
달이 이렇게 눈부시는 밤엔
누가 저 빛을 가려주길 외쳐
밤이 어느새 끝이 나는 낮엔
따스한 빛을 내리쬐는 빛을 받아줘
Bridge: Hyunjin, Seungmin, Bang Chan
I can’t take it anymore, what should I do?
(What should I do? What should I do?)
오늘은 모른 척 눈감아 줘
So, cover me now
Cover me now
Chorus: Lee Know, Han, Seungmin
달이 이렇게 눈부시는 밤엔 (Oh)
누가 저 빛을 가려주길 외쳐 (가려주길 외쳐)
밤이 어느새 끝이 나는 낮엔 (Oh, no, no)
따스한 빛을 내리쬐는 빛을 (내리쬐는 빛을)
