[INTRO]:
Say something
I swear I’m listening
[VERSE]:
I think I’m lost
Cause I keep on running around in circles
Finding my way home
But everything feels foreign yet familiar
[PREChorus]
Back to where I started
Where my roots grew up from
Tryna use my manners, but it’s all coming out wrong
Wanna get to know you without overthinking
If you understand me
[Chorus]:
Am I making any sense?
Please teach me
Better ways to speak more clearly
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
In these conversations something’s missing
Cause my words won’t show my feelings
Talk to me!
Can somebody talk to mе!
[pH-1 VERSE]
What’s the problem herе?
내가 좀 말걸기에 넘 차갑게 보인건지
오해만 생겨
Not my intention
너는 번역길 돌려
난 두 눈썹을 올려
너의 그 단어선택보다
궁금한 너의 감정에 귀 기울여
복잡한 문장 신경끄고 내게 말해줘
Cause I’m tryna figure out, but you’re stepping backwards
I said I’ll pull you right back in
되어줄게 네 편한 친구
하고 싶었던 말 남기지 말고
다 말해 I’m listening
Baby I’m listening
[pH-1 English translation]:
What’s the problem here?
I don't know if I look too cold to talk to
Only causing misunderstanding
Not my intention
You use a translator
I raise my eyebrows
Rather than your choice of words
Listen to how you’re feeling
Don't worry about complicated sentences and tell me
Cause I’m tryna figure out, but you’re stepping backwards
I said I’ll pull you right back in
I'll be your comfortable friend
Don't leave out anything you want to say
Tell me everything, I'm listening
Baby I’m listening
[Chorus]
Am I making any sense?
Please teach me
Better ways to speak more clearly
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
In these conversations something’s missing
Cause my words won’t show my feelings
Talk to me!
Can somebody talk to me!
[BRIDGE]
Tried to blend in crowds that stretched their eyes out
While they called me all the names that they’d mispronounce
Now I’m making up the time I’ve lost
Wondering where I belong
말 하고싶어요
Say what I wanna say
[Chorus]
Am I making any sense?
Please teach me
Better ways to speak more clearly
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
In these conversations something’s missing
Cause there’s more to say when we meet
Talk to me!
Can somebody talk to me!
[OUTRO]
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
Talk to me!
Talk to me! (x2)

She told Pop Genius:
pH-1 is amazing. We did the collaboration online after one of my producers, Millic, introduced us. We briefly talked about the overall concept of the song and our experiences as Korean-Americans. It was a very natural collaboration in my opinion because he delivered his verse s...
