EVAN “Ride or Die” Lyrics

Hangul

Say something, grab my hands, oh
아직 널 놓지 않아
센 척 아닌 척 but
There’s no more
홀로였던 race track
걷잡을 수 없이 내 맘은 네게 가 이미
So much pains got me crazy, 내 모든 것 다 yours
So take my heart, just take my heart
철없는 약속해

Took a couple tries just to be right
무너져도 난 그대로 it will be alright
태워버린 삶 속의 나와 just ignite
따라와, it’s gon’ be unforgettable, yeah

You are my ride or die
Drive ’til the end of time
내게 더 다가와
My love will never die
You are my ride or die
Drive ’til the end of time
입 맞춘 이 순간
It’s gonna be alright-ight-ight

Say something, grab my hands, oh
이대로 괜찮아
잃어버린 timeline
어질러진 너란 물감
Heartbreak is pullin me down
They be looking for blaming, so I lost my mind
God damn, 끝이 없는 트랙
But you have to believe me
Oh, 이제부터가 set it off, yeah

You are my ride or die
Drive ’til the end of time
내게 더 다가와
My love will never die
You are my ride or die
Drive ’til the end of time
입 맞춘 이 순간
It’s gonna be alright

It’s gonna be alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You are my ride or die

Translation

Say something, grab my hands, oh
I still haven’t let go of you
Pretending to be tough, pretending I’m fine, but
There’s no more
Racetrack where I used to run completely alone
Uncontrollably, my heart has already dashed straight to you
So much pains got me crazy, absolutely everything of mine is yours
So take my heart, just take my heart
Making a reckless, childish promise

Took a couple tries just to be right
Even if things completely collapse, I remain exactly the same—it will be alright
Inside this life that has completely burned down, look at me and just ignite
Follow me, it’s gon’ be unforgettable, yeah

You are my ride or die
Drive ’til the end of time
Come just a little bit closer to me
My love will never die
You are my ride or die
Drive ’til the end of time
This exact moment our lips meet,
It’s gonna be alright-ight-ight

Say something, grab my hands, oh
Everything is perfectly fine exactly as it is right now
A completely lost timeline
A spilled, scattered paint that is “you”
Heartbreak is pullin me down
They be looking for blaming, so I lost my mind
God damn, a racetrack that feels utterly endless
But you have to believe me
Oh, from this very moment, we set it off, yeah

You are my ride or die
Drive ’til the end of time
Come just a little bit closer to me
My love will never die
You are my ride or die
Drive ’til the end of time
This exact moment our lips meet,
It’s gonna be alright

It’s gonna be alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You are my ride or die
