Original Lyrics for: 20cm
어려서부터 우린 꼭 붙어 다녔지
뜨거웠던 여름, 잠깐 못 본 새
훌쩍 커버린 내 키
잔뜩 낮아진 내 목소리
나도 머리부터 발끝까지 어색해
커진 키만큼이나 서먹서먹해
(To you) 친구인 네게
남자인 척 굴게 돼
소리 없이 매일 밤
커진 키와 널 향한 맘
발을 맞춰 자라났나 봐
(너를 보는 내 맘)
나의 맘
(예전과 많이 달라)
자라버린 내 맘
다잡지만 자꾸 혼자
앞서가잖아
(한 뼘만큼 멀리)
넌 몰라
(우린 20cm 차이)
서로의 옆에 설 때
코 끝을 간지럽히는 샴푸 냄새
머리를 쓰담쓰담 하고 싶어
(올려다보는 너의)
턱을 간지럽히고 싶어
나풀나풀 대는
너의 속눈썹 개수도
여기 수학공식처럼
다 하나하나 외워버리고 싶어
소리 없이 매일 밤
커진 키와 널 향한 맘
발을 맞춰 자라났나 봐
(너를 보는 내 맘)
나의 맘
(예전과 많이 달라)
자라버린 내 맘
다잡지만 자꾸 혼자
앞서가잖아
(한 뼘만큼 멀리)
넌 몰라
(우린 20cm 차이)
도서관 맨 위 칸 책들도
내가 꺼내줄게
떡볶이 멤버가 필요할 때
무조건 네 편이 필요할 때
그저 고개 들면 그 곳에
내가 항상 있을게
몰랐어 네 향기
너의 말투, 작은 손도
다 특별한 건지
(너를 보는 내 맘)
(예전과는 많이 달라)
놀랐어 내 키가
내 어깨가 널 꼭 맞춰
자라난 건지
(너와 나의 거리)
(더 가까워지고 싶어)
그러니까 혹시
나 다가가도 괜찮겠니
한 뼘만큼만 더 너에게

English Translation:
Since childhood, we would always go around together
A summer that was hot, in the short time I didn’t see you
My height that grew so much
My voice that heavily deepened
I too feel awkward from my head to my toes
I feel like a fish out of water as much as my height has grown
(To you) To you who is a friend
I start acting like a man
Soundlessly, every night
My height and my feelings towards you that have grown
Must have grown in sync with each other
(My heart that’s looking at you)
My heart
(Is very different from before)
Though I catch up, it keeps
Jumping ahead
On its own
(One handspan away)
You don’t know
(We’re 20cm apart)
When we stand next to each other
The shampoo scent that tickles the tip of my nose
I want to pat your head
I want to tickle your chin
When you’re looking up at me
The number
Of your fluttering eyelashes
Here like a math equation
I want to memorize them all one by one
Soundlessly, every night
My height and my feelings towards you that have grown
Must have grown in sync with each other
(My heart that’s looking at you)
My heart
(Is very different from before)
Though I try to contain it, it keeps
Jumping ahead
On its own
(One handspan away)
You don’t know
(We’re 20cm apart)
The books in the uppermost shelves of the library
I’ll take them out for you
When you need a tteokbokki member
When you need someone to take your side no matter what
If you just lift your head, at that place
I will always be there
I didn’t know that your scent
Your way of speaking, your small hands too
Are all special
(My heart that’s looking at you)
(Is very different from before)
I was shocked, is it that my height
My shoulders have grown
To fit perfectly with you
(The distance between you and I)
(I want to be closer)
So perhaps
Would it be okay if I came closer
One handspan more to you
