ESCAPE Lyrics (Korean)
[Verse 1]
The sky is burning
타들어 가는 회색 잿빛 세상, there’s no way
차가운 눈빛
악마의 손짓, huh, 망가져 갈 이유가 많네
Like magic, 이 시간을 멈춘다면
네 앞에 설게 도망가자, hold my hand
뜨겁게 날 태우며
차가워진 널 녹여
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t let you go, ’cause the world’s ’bout to break
Just follow me, I’ll lead, night and day (Escape now)
In exchange for this pain, can you promise me
To show your love for me every day? Oh
[Chorus]
Come with me, let’s escape now
(Run, run, run) Ah-oh!
Escape now
(Run, run, run) Run, run, run
