[진 "The Astronaut" 가사]
[Verse 1]
You and me
끝나지 않을 history
Oh, 나의 우주가 돼 준
우리의 이야기
목적지 없이 흘러가는 저 소행성처럼
나도 그저 떠내려가고 있었어
어둠 속에 찾은 나의 모든 dream
새롭게 시작될 story
[Chorus]
When I'm with you
There is no one else
I get heaven to myself
When I'm with you
There is no one else
I feel this way I've never felt
[Verse 2]
You and me
깨지지 않는 별처럼
너의 꿈이 되어
우주를 여행하는
어두운 길을 비춰주는 저 은하수처럼
너는 나를 향해 빛나고 있었어
어둠 속에 찾은 단 하나의 빛
너에게 향하는 나의 길
[Chorus]
When I'm with you
There is no one else
I get heaven to myself
When I'm with you
There is no one else
I feel this way I never felt
[Bridge]
I feel this way I never felt
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
When I'm with you
There is no one else
I get heaven to myself
When I'm with you
There is no one else
A life, a sparkle in your eyes
Heaven comin' through
[Outro]
And I love you
And I love you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I’m thankful and affectionate for ARMY who made...
In this solo single, I participated in writing lyrics and composing with Coldplay. After “My Universe,” I got to work with Coldplay again. They’re people I really like, so I was really happy and excited while working on them. I’d like to say thank you to Coldplay once again.

I worked really hard on the music video for “The Astronaut.” We filmed it in the US. You can see me making a crash landing on Earth. And it’s about me from another planet wandering in space and making a crash landing on Earth. Now I have to go back to my home planet. It’s a music video about the jou...
There were songs that I made to celebrate my birthday. There were songs that were released for the fans.
