fromis_9 “LIKE YOU BETTER” Lyrics

Hangul

[Intro: Baek Jiheon]
You know what?
This isn’t just a moment
And once you feel it
There’s no turning back

[Verse 1: Lee Nagyung, Song Hayoung]
널 닮은 파도에 dive, I can go anywhere
말해봐 뭐든 say
붉게 타는 태양의 끝에 우릴 그려볼래
Let’s call ourselves the starlight

[Pre-Chorus: Lee Chaeyoung, Park Jiwon, Baek Jiheon]
From summer days to the last dance
다쳐도 놓지 않을 이 rendezvous
So I know, 바람 속에 몸을 맡긴채
So hit it off, one, two, three, four, dive

[Chorus: Song Hayoung, Lee Chaeyoung, Park Jiwon]
I like you better, I like you better, you and I
Our love is true ’cause this is too great
I like you better, 널 내일이라 부를래
더 뜨겁게

[Post-Chorus: All, Baek Jiheon, Lee Nagyung]
Oh
달콤한 바람, so hit it off, one, two, three, four, dive
Oh
네 꿈에 닿아 stay

[Verse 2: Baek Jiheon, Lee Chaeyoung, Lee Chaeyoung & Park Jiwon, All]
네가 머문 계절 속에 (속에)
끊임없이 떠다닐래 (Yeah, yeah)
Break the compass, I let you in but
You gave me something really special
I’m gonna be with you
Like this, na-na-na
You’re never falling like that
Never gonna be wasting our time

[Pre-Chorus: Baek Jiheon, Song Hayoung, Lee Nagyung]
From summer days to the last dance
아파도 놓지않을 이 rendezvous
So I know, 너라면 어디든 가볼래
So hit it off, one, two, three, four, dive

[Chorus: Park Jiwon, Lee Chaeyoung, Song Hayoung, Lee Nagyung]

달콤한 바람, so hit it off, one, two, three, four, dive
Oh
네 꿈에 닿아 stay

[Bridge: Park Jiwon & Song Hayoung, Park Jiwon, Baek Jiheon & Song Hayoung]
빛이 나 높은 하늘과 쏘아올린 sign
바래지지 않을 story
피어오르듯 타올라
나와 손을 뻗어 저 끝까지 high (Oh)

[Chorus: Song Hayoung, Lee Nagyung, Park Jiwon, Lee Chaeyoung]
I like you better, I like you better, you and I
Our love is true ’cause this is too great
I like you better, 널 내일이라 부를래
더 뜨겁게 (Oh, woah)

[Outro: All, Baek Jiheon, Lee Nagyung]
It doesn’t matter ’cause we’re better when we are together
더 외쳐, here we go
I find it funny, see? Aren’t you glad we did this together?
Our love is true ’cause this is too great

Translation

[Intro]
You know what?
This isn’t just a moment
And once you feel it
There’s no turning back

[Verse 1]
To the waves that feel like you dive
I can go anywhere
Tell me anything say
At the end of the blazing sun
Shall we picture us
Let’s call ourselves the starlight

[Pre-Chorus]
From summer days to the last dance
This rendezvous I won’t let go even if it hurts
So I know, as I give myself to the breeze
So hit it off, one, two, three, four, dive

[Chorus]
I like you better, I like you better, you and I
Our love is true ’cause this is too great
I like you better, I’ll call you my tomorrow
With more heat

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Sweet whispering wind, so hit it off, one, two, three, four, dive
Oh
Reaching your dreams stay

[Verse 2]
In the season you stayed (Stayed)
I’ll keep drifting endlessly (Yeah, yeah)
Break the compass
I let you in but you gave me something really special
I’m gonna be with you
Like this, na-na-na
You’re never falling like that
Never gonna be wasting our time

[Pre-Chorus]
From summer days to the last dance
This rendezvous I won’t let go even if it hurts
So I know, with you, I’d go anywhere
So hit it off, one, two, three, four, dive

I like you better, I like you better, you and I
Our love is true ’cause this is too great
I like you better, I’ll call you my tomorrow
With more heat

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
Sweet wind
So hit it off, one, two, three, four, dive
Oh
Reaching your dreams stay

[Bridge]
Shining bright, with the high sky, a sign sent soaring
A story that remains forever
Rise up like a flame
Reach out your hand with me to the very end

[Chorus]
I like you better, I like you better, you and I
Our love is true ’cause this is too great
I like you better, I’ll call you my tomorrow
With more heat

[Outro]
It doesn’t matter ’cause we’re better when we are together
Shout louder here we go
I find it funny, see? Aren’t you glad we did this together?
Our love is true ’cause this is too great
