About This Track

A song about seven years of friendship, 'Friends' moves through memory and devotion with the ease of people who have grown up together. The lyrics trace a shared history: schooldays in uniform, summer after summer, the small moments that accumulate into something unshakeable. There is tenderness in the specificity, the invocation of pinky fingers and the promise to stay beside each other when the noise eventually fades. The song was composed by 스텔라장, PDOGG, and Adora. It sits on the album as a moment of stillness, a counterweight to the album's larger movements, built on the idea that some bonds outlast seasons and promises both kept and broken.

"Friends" is a track by BTS, from the album MAP OF THE SOUL : 7, released 21st February 2020. The track is 3:19 long. It's filed under K-Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about BTS.

Lyrics

Friends

유난히도 반짝였던 서울!
처음 보는 또 다른 세상
땀에 잔뜩 밴 채 만난 넌
뭔가 이상했었던 아이

난 달에서, 넌 별에서
우리 대화는 숙제 같았지
하루는 베프, 하루는 웬수
I just wanna understand

Hello my alien
우린 서로의 mystery
그래서 더 특별한 걸까

언젠가 이 함성 멎을 때 stay, hey
내 옆에 함께 있어줘
영원히 계속 이곳에 stay, hey
네 작은 새끼손가락처럼

일곱 번의 여름과 추운 겨울보다
오래
수많은 약속과 추억들보다
오래

우리 교복 차림이 기억나
우리 추억 한 편 한 편 영화
만두 사건은 코미디 영화 yeah, yeah

하교 버스를 채운 속 얘기들
이젠 함께 drive를 나가
한결같애, 그때의 우리들
"Hey 지민, 오늘"

내 방의 드림캐쳐
7년간의 history
그래서 더 특별한 걸까

언젠가 이 함성 멎을 때 stay, hey
내 옆에 함께 있어줘
영원히 계속 이곳에 stay, hey
네 작은 새끼손가락처럼

일곱 번의 여름과 추운 겨울보다
오래
수많은 약속과 추억들보다
오래

네 새끼손가락
처럼 우린 여전해
네 모든 걸 알아
서로 믿어야만 돼
잊지 마
고맙단 그 뻔한 말 보단
너와 나
내일은 정말 싸우지 않기로 해

언젠가 이 함성 멎을 때 stay, hey
You are my soulmate
영원히 계속 이곳에 stay, hey
You are my soulmate

일곱 번의 여름과 추운 겨울보다
오래
수많은 약속과 추억들보다
오래

언젠가 이 함성 멎을 때 stay, hey
You are my soulmate
영원히 계속 이곳에 stay, hey
You are my soulmate

일곱 번의 여름과 추운 겨울보다
오래
수많은 약속과 추억들보다
오래
