BOYNEXTDOOR – IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU / THE FIRST TAKE
It’s been a while everybody. Let’s say hello. Who’s there? BOYNEXTDOOR! Hello, we’re BOYNEXTDOOR! For the first time in a year,
BOYNEXTDOOR is back on THE FIRST TAKE! Thank you so much! Let’s introduce ourselves one by one! I’m TAESAN. Nice to meet you! I’m SUNGHO. I’ve really been looking forward to today! I’m the leader of the group, JAEHYUN.
It’s an honor to be here again. I’m LEEHAN.
Performing on THE FIRST TAKE gives me butterflies. I’m RIWOO. We’ll be sure to give you a great performance! I’m WOONHAK. We’ll give it our best. Is everybody ready to go? This is just what I’m like ever since that day Can’t even pick up the guitar anymore Yeah, it’s just what I’m like ever since that day It’s funny but Dirty laundry’s overflowing in the washer Hair’s sticking up, it’s a mess Outside’s bustling, even cherry blossoms look busy but not me It’s just pathetic Yeah, I’ve got it bad It’s not like tomorrow I’ll wake up as a brand new person And to use my memories to write another song There’s nothing I hate more than that This is just what I’m like ever since that day Can’t even pick up the guitar anymore Yeah, it’s just what I’m like ever since that day It’s funny but If I say I love you 愛してる 사랑해 just for today Knowing I’d regret it, would it be better that way? Love you Dum dum dum yeah Dum dum dum yeah Wanna tell ya I could fake the inspiration And write a lyric that’s so cliché but In the end, it all comes back to you So sick of being sober Pretending this isn’t a song about you I’ll just keep on living like that, today, tomorrow,
on and on but I’m so sick of it And to use my memories to write another song There’s nothing I hate more than that This is just what I’m like ever since that day Can’t even pick up the guitar anymore Yeah, it’s just what I’m like ever since that day It’s funny but If I say I love you 愛してる 사랑해 just for today Knowing I’d regret it, would it be better that way? Love you To be honest, music is nothing but One big emotional black hole Writing songs, playing guitar, it all feels meaningless Like I’m forcing a feeling, it all feels phony, so I’m done Go! THE FIRST TAKE! (I love you) Dum dum dum yeah (愛してる 사랑해) Dum dum dum yeah That was great! It was great! It was great! “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU”
