[Verse 1] On the other side of night and day I could be no farther away The moon I see is not our moon This sun is not the one we know But they are safe with you at home It's I, who's gone [Chorus] And I am pining for you Reminded of you all the time I'm always pining, for you What I thought was so unique about you Must be common after all For I am constantly reminded of you everywhere I go What I thought was so extraordinary, is common after all As I am constantly pining for you, everywhere I go [Verse 2] You could go anywhere and people would invite you to stay I could meet anyone else and still feel completely alone So I try to distract myself and make new discoveries But as I explore the forests of my Seoul, I see you in the trees [Chorus] And I am pining for you Reminded of you all the time I'm always pining, for you What I thought was so unique about you Must be common after all For I am constantly reminded of you everywhere I go What I thought was so extraordinary is common around the world Men are always pining for their loves, while their loves don't pine for them at all And I am pining for you, reminded of you in everything I see I'm always pining, for you And I am pining for you, reminded of you in everything I see I'm always pining for you, though I know you don't pine for me [Outro] In the land of the rising sun, I dream of the midnight run In the land of the morning calm, I lie awake until tomorrow's dawn
