There have been a lot of pretty faces
I’ve given everything to
But none of them, have brought me to places
None were anything like you
So hold me in the darkest nights
Don’t let me go, in the day
We’ll be as high as clouds and kites
Cut the string on this cage, I promise I’ll stay
Oh, my Seoul, skyscrapes fall shadows on me
Oh, we’ll go, to the darkest of alleys watch city lights scatter
Oh, you’ll see, sail the world on wooden ships on the seas
Oh, my Seoul, nothing else matters, with my city built next to me
But oh don’t turn around to me
I’ll turn to stone, a smiling statue
Cause if you are the last thing I see
I’d be frozen, but I’d be free
There have been so many days
I’ve wasted waiting, for words to come
To tell my city, so many ways
Just what she means, I’m lost in the paths she is from
Oh, my Seoul, skyscrapes fall shadows on me
Oh, we’ll go, to the darkest of alleys watch city lights scatter
Oh, you’ll see, sail the world on wooden ships on the seas
Oh, my Seoul, nothing else matters, with my city built next to me
Immediately my Seoul she is free
I’ll walk down these streets unconditionally
And the day I walk down the last new avenue
There will only be one thing left to do
Oh, my Seoul, skyscrapes fall shadows on me
Oh, we’ll go, to the darkest of alleys watch city lights scatter
Oh, you’ll see, sail the world on wooden ships on the seas
Oh, my Seoul, nothing else matters, with my city built next to me
