[Intro — whispered]
(soft) Hey—shh, 네 편, 네 편 (ne pyeon)
No need to hide, we already know (shh)
[Verse 1]
Late-night ramen at 2 AM, slurping secrets in your hoodie
You laugh so loud the moon drops a beat, I call you when I lose my footing
Spilled coffee on my favorite shirt, you say it looks like modern art
We trade dumb captions, stupid memes — you keep the map to my heart
[Pre-Chorus — lead / group call & response]
When the light goes thin, I call your name (I call your name)
(group) We come running — yeah, we come the same (come the same)
Lead: Even when I'm sloppy, even when I break (uh-huh)
Group: (ne pyeon) 네 편 — we don't count the mistakes (hey!)
[Chorus — hook (chantable)]
Got you, always — 네 편 (ne pyeon)
Got you, always — 네 편 (ne pyeon)
No matter how goofy, how messy, how sad I get,
You got me — loud & proud, no regret
[Post-Chorus — chant]
(Got you, always) 네 편, 네 편 (ne pyeon)
(Got you, always) 네 편, 네 편 (ne pyeon)
[Verse 2]
Subway lights and spilled receipts, you held my hair when I was sick
You stole my fries and blamed it on the stars — we wrote our names on a cracked ticket
Group chat at 3AM: read 99+, we send back hearts and crying cats
You hide my worst selfies, threaten to post them — bluff is your favorite act
[Pre-Chorus — lead / group with ad-libs]
When the storm drags me down, you pull the blinds (pull the blinds)
(group) We build a crazy lighthouse, yeah, we keep the signs (keep the signs)
Lead: Even when I’m clumsy, even when I cry (woo)
Group: (ne pyeon) 네 편 — we laugh until sunrise (ah!)
[Chorus — hook]
Got you, always — 네 편 (ne pyeon)
Got you, always — 네 편 (ne pyeon)
No matter how goofy, how messy, how sad I get,
You got me — loud & proud, no regret
[Rap — 16 bars]
(Spoken flow) Late-night taxi, hoodie in the backseat, mixtape of our bad jokes
You text a single emoji, it cures the cliff where my courage broke
I’m tripping on my own two left feet, you tie the lace with a wink
We swap band-aids, swap playlists, swap secrets that stink
Ramen steam on your phone screen, sticky notes on the fridge
We draw dumb superheroes—blue fox, pink ridge
You deleted his photo like a surgeon — clean cut, no trace
We dance in the hallway like the floor's our stage, messy grace
Punchline: we’re loud and ridiculous, heart-shaped and bold —
Rich in scarred-up stories, richer than gold (that’s right)
[Bridge — intimate, quieter, bilingual touch]
(soft) Hold me close, whisper the safe words (항상 네 편 — hang-sang ne pyeon)
In the quiet, you hum the song that heals my worst hurts
Tiny lights, your shoulder, my resting place — breathe slow
(soft) 네 편, 네 편 — you always choose me, I know
[Final Chorus — big, layered harmonies]
Got you, always — 네 편 (ne pyeon)
Got you, always — 네 편 (ne pyeon)
No matter how goofy, how messy, how sad I get,
You got me — loud & proud, no regret
[Outro — gang ad-lib then whisper]
(Gang) Got you! Always! 네 편! 네 편!
(Whisper) Always on yo
