Stray Kids – 19 (English Translation) lyrics

It’s too fast
I’ve waited for this moment, what about you?
Are you a little scared? Or are you excited?
To be honest, it hurts to send you away

Every time the day went by slowly, I prayed for it to pass by quickly
But right now I feel the opposite
I’d like for this moment to stop for a bit
Time don’t stay here, go somewhere else

One, two, three, once again back to the 13
I became the singer that I wanted to become back then
I still can’t believe it but I’m happy
I’m satisfied that my dream came with a lot of luck

But this moment that I’ve waited for even before I started to dream is here and
I just want to stop time
I’m still not ready
I’m waiting all the way over there
The 20 year old me is waiting

Why does this day feel like it’s passing by so quickly
When I count to three
Can everything disappear like a dream
And I go back to where I was before

Back, back, back, back, back, back
Go back to before
Where everyday was the same, same, same, same, same, same
Same back then
If right now passes then it’ll seem so far away
It’ll feel like I won’t be able to see the current me again
I just wanna go back
Back, back, back, back, back, back
Back to before

Now the way I talk has gotten more mature
It’s a bit unfamiliar but I walk around like I’m confident
But I’m like a middle school student who’s acting as an adult
I’m still immature and I just can’t get used to it
The hours after 10pm that I’ve gotten close with
The signs that don’t allow minors don’t relate to me anymore
But my dad and mom still look at me like a kid
And strangely this is something I’m still used to

Pay attention how old are you now that you’re still asking for the impossible
Soon I’ll have to take off my name tag as a teenager
This should be good enough
Continue on naturally, don’t be uncomfortable
Everybody was like this too

Twenty years old that I wanted to become so badly
Did everybody go through this same experience or am I the only one
That’s anxious?
Not even other people, but people close to me like my mom, dad, and brother
Did they spend this day like this too?

Why does this day feel like it’s passing by so quickly
When I count to three
Can everything disappear like a dream
And I go back to where I was before

Back, back, back, back, back, back
Go back to before
Where everyday was the same, same, same, same, same, same
Same back then
If right now passes then it’ll seem so far away
It’ll feel like I won’t be able to see the current me again
I just wanna go back
Back, back, back, back, back, back
Back to before

This place that felt so awkward
Is now my home
Seoul that felt so big
Now seems small to me

The dream that I’ve been dreaming of has taken off
And when I look out the window, it’s ready to land
The dream that I’ve been dreaming of has taken off
And when I look out the window, it’s ready to land
This place that felt so awkward

This place that felt so big
This place that felt so awkward
This place that felt so big
