밤편지 (Through the Night) Lyrics

[아이유 "밤편지" 가사]

[Verse 1]
이 밤 그날의 반딧불을 당신의
창 가까이 보낼게요
음 사랑한다는 말이에요

[Verse 2]
나, 우리의 첫 입맞춤을 떠올려
그럼 언제든 눈을 감고
음 가장 먼 곳으로 가요

[Chorus]
난 파도가 머물던
모래 위에 적힌 글씨처럼
그대가 멀리 사라져 버릴 것 같아
늘 그리워 그리워
여기 내 마음속에
모든 말을 다 꺼내어 줄 순 없지만
사랑한다는 말이에요

[Verse 3]
어떻게 나에게
그대란 행운이 온 걸까
지금 우리 함께 있다면
아, 얼마나 좋을까요
[Chorus]
난 파도가 머물던
모래 위에 적힌 글씨처럼
그대가 멀리 사라져 버릴 것 같아
다 그리워 다 그리워
나의 일기장 안에
모든 말을 다 꺼내어 줄 순 없지만
사랑한다는 말

[Outro]
이 밤 그날의 반딧불을 당신의
창 가까이 띄울게요
음 좋은 꿈 이길 바라요

What is the significance of the music video for this track?
Genius Answer

The music video shows IU maturing as she experiences love for the first time, represented by her white dress gradually transitioning into a red dress, as well as her hair growing out. The present day IU in a red dress is captured listening to a song recorded by her past self as well as reading a letter addressed to her and written by the old IU.

“Through the Night” cleverly refers to the letter sent by the old IU to the present-day IU, which the past IU writes in daylight, and the present-day IU finishes reading when nighttime falls.
