Woo 매일 설렜지 내가 어디까지 갈지
정신 없이 달리다 보니 어느새 여기까지 왔지
Yeah, hmm, 발 밑에 그림자
고개 숙여보니 더 커지잖아
도망쳐봤자 날 따라오는 저 빛과 비례하는 내 그림자
두려워, 높이 나는 게 난 무섭지
아무도 말 안 해줬잖아, 여기가 얼마나 외로운지 말야
나의 도약은 추락이 될 수 있단 걸
이제 알겠어, 때론 도망이 차선이란 걸, pause
사람들은, 뭐, 말하지, 저 빛 속은 찬란하네
근데 내 그림자는 되려 더 그저 나를 삼켜 괴물이 돼
저 위로 위로, 또 위로 위로만 가다 보니 여긴 어디로
또 위로 위로만 가는 (싫어 난)
무사하길 빌어 빌어
나의 바람대로 높게 날고 있는 순간
저 내려쬐는 빛에 더 커진 그림자
Please don't let me shine
Don't let me down
Don't let me fly
이제는 두려워
가장 밑바닥의 나를 마주하는 순간
공교롭게도 여긴 장공이잖아
Please don't let me shine
Don't let me down
Don't let me fly
이제는 무서워
Don't let me shine

그래 나는 너고 너는 나야, 이젠 알겠니
그래 너는 나고 나는 너야, 이젠 알겠지
우린 한 몸인 것도, 때론 부딪치겠지
너는 절대 나를 떼어낼 수 없어, 알겠지 yeah yeah
떼어낼 수 없어 니가 뭐를 하던지 yeah
인정하는 게 더 편안하겠지 yeah
성공 거부 실패, 어디 있던지 yeah
도망칠 수 없어 어딜 가던지 yeah
나는 너고 너는 나야, 알겠니
너는 나고 나는 너야, 알겠니
우린 한 몸이고 부딪치겠지

Oh boy let me see
I got a big dream yeah
Woo, I wondered everyday how far I'd go
I came to my senses and I find myself here
Yeah, hmm, shadow at my feet
Look down, it's gotten even bigger
I run but the shadow follows, as dark as the light's intense
I'm afraid, flying high is terrifying
No one told me how lonely it is up here
I can leap in the air but also plunge, now I know
Running away could be an option too, pause
People say, there's splendor in that bright light
But my growing shadow swallows me and becomes a monster
Up high, high, and higher, higher
I only go higher and vertigo overtakes me
I rise, rise, I hate it
I pray, I pray, hoping to be okay
The moment I'm flying high as I wished
My shadow grows in that blasting stark light
Please don't let me shine
Don't let me down
Don't let me fly
Now I'm afraid
The moment I face myself brought lowest
It so happens that I'm flying the highest
Please don't let me shine
Don't let me down
Don't let me fly
Now I'm scared
Don't let me shine
I wanna be a rap star
I wanna be the top

I wanna be...
Yeah I'm you, you are me, now do you know
Yeah you are me, I'm you, now you do know
We are one body, sometimes we will clash
You can never break me off, this you must know
Yeah yeah can't break me off, whatever you do
Yeah you'll be at ease if you admit it too
Yeah succeed or fail, whichever way you flow
Yeah you can't escape, wherever you go
I am you, you are me, now you do know
You are me, I am you, now do you know
We are one body and we are gonna clash
We are you, we are me, this do you know
