[Pre-Chorus]
안녕 오랜만이야
너는 요즘 어떻게 지내
너무도 뻔한 이 말에
뻔한 대답을 해 I know
[Hook]
그냥 그래
난 그냥 그래
다 그냥 그래
Yeah, uh
(I need a Cha Cha beat, boy)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, 모든 걸 내려놓을 것만 같았던
그때 그 순간을 이제는
추억이라고 말할 수가
있는 시간이 왔어 조금 덤덤히
너를 볼 수 있을 것 같아
전화길 들어 how you doin'?
오랜만이네
너는 어떻게 지내 기분이 어때?
내가 듣고 싶던 대답이 아니어도 돼
너무 많은 시간이 흘렀기에
[Verse 2]
너와 나 우리도
그냥 똑같은 거야
저기 영화나 drama 같은 건 없다고 말야
평범한 사랑을 했고
평범한 이별이었어
이제야 알 것만 같은 걸 yeah yeah, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
안녕 오랜만이야
너는 요즘 어떻게 지내
너무도 뻔한 이 말에
뻔한 대답을 해 I know
[Hook]
그냥 그래
난 그냥 그래
다 그냥 그래
Yeah, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
할 말은 너무 많지만
난 하지 않으려고 해
너도 나와 같은 맘
인거 아니 이 말로 대신할게 you know
[Hook]
그냥 그래
난 그냥 그래
다 그냥 그래
Yeah, uh
[Bridge]
너무도 힘든 일이 많았겠지
가끔은 우는 날도 있었겠지
그때 내가 생각 나곤 했는지
아님 맘 편히 기대어 울 땐
있었는지 말야
나도 나름 많은 일들이 있었지
하는 일이 잘 되는 거 같다가도
무너지기도 몇 번씩
예전같이 너와 얘기하고 싶어 uh
근데 그러면 안돼 남겨놔야지 뭐
[Verse 3]
너와 나 우리는
다른 사랑을 했다고
굳게 믿어 왔었지만
결국엔 똑같은 것
우린 인사를 나누고
다시 아무 일 없는 듯
익숙해진 그 자리로 돌아가 yeah yeah, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
안녕 오랜만이야
너는 요즘 어떻게 지내
너무도 뻔한 이 말에
뻔한 대답을 해 I know
[Hook]
그냥 그래
난 그냥 그래
다 그냥 그래
Yeah, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
할 말은 너무 많지만
난 하지 않으려고 해
너도 나와 같은 맘
인거 아니 이 말로 대신할게 you know

다 그냥 그래
Yeah, uh
[Outro]
그냥 그래
난 그냥 그래
다 그냥 그래
그냥 그래
난 그냥 그래
다 그냥 그래

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, it’s been a while
How are you doing these days?
At these typical questions
I have typical answers
I know
(I need a cha-cha beat, boy)
[Hook]
Just because... I'm
Just gettin'’ by... Everything's
Just whatever, yeah
[Verse 1]
Those times, that moment
When I felt that I let go of it all
I can say it’s just a memory now
I think I can see you a bit more calmly now
So I’m calling you, how u doin?
It’s been a while
How are you doing? How do you feel?
It’s ok if it’s not an answer I wanted to hear
Cuz too much time has passed
[Verse 2]
You and me
We’re just the same
The stuff that happens in movies or dramas
There’s no such thing
We had an ordinary love
And an ordinary break up
Now I think I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, it’s been a while
How are you doing these days?
At these typical questions
I have typical answers
I know
[Hook]
Just because... I'm
Just gettin'’ by... Everything's
Just whatever, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So much I want to say
But I won’t
I know you feel the same way
But I’ll say this instead
You know
[Hook]
Just because... I'm
Just gettin'’ by... Everything's
Just whatever, yeah
[Bridge]
I’m sure there were a lot of hard times
I’m sure there were a lot of days in tears
Did you think about me at those times?
Or did you comfortably just cry?
A lot of things happen to me too
There were times I thought things were going well
Then things broke down a few times
I wish I could talk to you like I did before
But I shouldn’t so I just need to leave this here
[Verse 3]
You and me
I strongly believed
That we had a different kind of love
But in the end, it was just the same
We said our goodbyes
And as if nothing happened
We went back to our familiar places
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, it’s been a while
How are you doing these days?
At these typical questions
I have typical answers
I know
[Hook]
Just because... I'm
Just gettin'’ by... Everything's
Just whatever, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
So much I want to say
But I won’t
I know you feel the same way
But I’ll say this instead
You know
[Hook]
Just because... I'm
Just gettin'’ by... Everything's
Just whatever
Just because... I'm
Just gettin'’ by... Everything's
Just whatever
Just because... I'm
Just gettin'’ by... Everything's
Just whatever, yeah

On the behind the scenes cut for the music video, One described the song as:
Since we use the word “just so-so” in our lives a lot, I think it really suits this song. It’s a warm song but also cold as well. I wrote this song; it only took me about 1 hour to get the melody and lyrics together. I thi...
