에잇 (eight) Lyrics
[Verse 1: IU]
So are you happy now?
Finally happy now? Yeah
뭐 그대로야 난
다 잃어버린 것 같아
[Pre-Chorus: IU]
모든 게 맘대로 왔다가 인사도 없이 떠나
이대로는 무엇도 사랑하고 싶지 않아
다 해질 대로 해져버린
기억 속을 여행해
[Chorus: IU]
우리는 오렌지 태양 아래
그림자 없이 함께 춤을 춰
정해진 이별 따위는 없어
아름다웠던 그 기억에서 만나
[Post-Chorus: IU]
Forever young
Oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh
Forever we young
Oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh
이런 악몽이라면 영영 깨지 않을게
[Verse 2: SUGA]
(SUGA)
섬 그래 여긴 섬 서로가 만든 작은 섬
Yeah, mm, forever young
"영원"이란 말은 모래성
작별은 마치 재난문자 같지
그리움과 같이 맞이하는 아침
서로가 이 영겁을 지나
꼭 이 섬에서 다시 만나
[Pre-Chorus: IU]
지나듯 날 위로하던 누구의 말대로 고작
한 뼘짜리 추억을 잊는 게 참 쉽지 않아
시간이 지나도 여전히
날 붙드는 그곳에
[Chorus: IU]
우리는 오렌지 태양 아래
그림자 없이 함께 춤을 춰
정해진 안녕 따위는 없어
아름다웠던 그 기억에서 만나
[Bridge: IU]
우리는 서로를 베고 누워
슬프지 않은 이야기를 나눠
우울한 결말 따위는 없어
난 영원히 널 이 기억에서 만나
[Post-Chorus: IU]
Forever young
Oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh
Forever we young
Oh oh oh, oh-oh oh oh
이런 악몽이라면 영영 깨지 않을게

What has IU said about the song?
“Eight” is like a short novel of confession of my twenty-eight-year-old self to the fictional character ‘you’ using various metaphors.
