(1) Memories, like dry flower petals / get shattered into pieces // From my fingertips, from underneath my feet / towards your back who’s running away // Like chasing a butterfly, life wandering in a dream / I follow your traces // Please tell me the way, please stop me / Please let me breathe
(2) Again, run run run, I can’t stop // Again, run run run, I can’t help
(3) This is anyway the only thing I can do / Loving you is the only thing I can do
(4) Again, run run run, it’s okay even if I fall // Again, run run run, it’s okay even if I get hurt // It’s okay even if I don’t have you / Silly fate, just point your fingers at me
I think a lot of people forget that Namjoon is so young. He was 19 internationally when they debuted. He is only a year older than Jimin and Taehyung and the maknae of the hyung line. At 19 he carried the hopes and dreams of six other boys and a company close to bankruptcy and it’s easy to cringe at 2013 Namjoon. He tried too hard, he made mistakes, he did expensive girl, his hair was stupid, and named himself Rap Monster! But 2013 Namjoon was also the one who was hungry for success, who lived diligently, produced music, wrote lyrics, and pushed forward despite an entire industry and underground artists he once respected insulting and degrading him and his brothers. 2013 Namjoon was desperate and terrified to show the world his heart and soul, and the layers peeled back revealed the kindest and wisest soul. So I love 2013 Namjoon. I love him to bits. I love his stupid hair, his sunglasses, his try hard attitude, his cringey, terrible mistakes, because 2013 Namjoon is what made 2019 Namjoon. He carried the weight of the world on his shoulders and turned it into a beautiful strength.
