123-78 Lyrics
[Verse 1: Myung Jaehyun, Leehan]
Give me straight gin
양말 하나 남기지 않고
떠난 널 위해 cheers
Wish you saw this
엉망이 돼 버린 내 자태
Oh, my baby
[Pre-Chorus: Sungho, Riwoo, Leehan]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) 실컷 두들겨 맞은 마음
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) 전부 무너진 꼴 좀 봐
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) 이 정도 했음 됐잖아요
Count one to ten, mm, turn to, turn to my heart
One, two, three, seven, eight
[Chorus: Woonhak, Taesan]
My baby Georgia
Baby Georgia
Can’t take my eyes off you
My hometown is only you
Baby Georgia
Baby Georgia
Don’t break my home no more
There is nowhere to go
[Refrain: Riwoo]
십초 아니 십년을 세어도
All I want is you
L-O-V-E is you
[Interlude: Woonhak]
그 여자를 왜 좋아하냐구요?
딱히 이유랄 게 있을까요?
그냥 다 좋은데
뭐 하나를 꼽자면
[Verse 2: Woonhak, Myung Jaehyun]
노래를 잘 불러서는 아니고
Just because, it’s ’cause it’s you
[Pre-Chorus: Sungho, Leehan, Myung Jaehyun]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) 비가 주르륵 내린 다음
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) 눈이 사르르 녹은 다음
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) 그 정도 하고 돌아와요
Count one to ten, mm, turn to, turn to my heart
One, two, three, seven, eight
[Chorus: Riwoo, Taesan]
My baby Georgia
Baby Georgia
Can’t take my eyes off you
My hometown is only you
Baby Georgia
Baby Georgia
Don’t break my home no more
There is nowhere to go
[Refrain: Myung Jaehyun]
십초 아니 십년을 세어도
All I want is you
L-O-V-E is you
[Refrain: Leehan, Sungho]
십초 아니 십년을 세어도
All I want is you
L-O-V-E is you
Is you
123-78 Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1: Myung Jaehyun, Leehan]
Myung Jaehyun and Leehan open the song with a blend of raw imagery and subtle pain. The mention of “straight gin” evokes an attempt to numb the sorrow, while the image of someone leaving without even a sock behind intensifies the feeling of abandonment. Raising a toast to the one who left shows a mix of sarcasm and lingering affection. The description of a disheveled self reflects how deeply the departure has impacted them emotionally and physically.
[Pre-Chorus: Sungho, Riwoo, Leehan]
This pre-chorus explores the emotional aftermath of the breakup with metaphoric language. The “beaten heart” and “collapsed form” speak to the toll of unreciprocated love. Despite all the pain and effort, the repeated line “One, two, three, seven, eight” serves as a motif for emotional dissonance and unresolved feelings. The skipped numbers suggest something missing or broken, perfectly mirroring the heart’s fragmented state.
[Chorus: Woonhak, Taesan]
Woonhak and Taesan express intense longing and emotional dependency. Referring to “Georgia” as both a person and a symbolic home, they blur the line between romantic and emotional belonging. The chorus conveys the heartbreak of losing someone who felt like the center of their world. The plea not to “break my home” emphasizes how deeply rooted the person was in their sense of stability and identity.
[Refrain: Riwoo]
Riwoo adds depth to the emotional theme by stretching time—claiming that even ten seconds or ten years won’t change their desire. The spelling out of “L-O-V-E is you” reinforces the central message that love, in its purest form, is defined by that one person. This direct and simple phrasing underscores the sincerity of the feeling.
[Interlude: Woonhak]
In this conversational interlude, Woonhak reflects on why he loves the person, ultimately rejecting any need for rational explanation. His statement, “Just because, it’s ‘cause it’s you,” reveals the irrational yet genuine nature of love—where feelings often defy logic and cannot be reduced to a single reason.
[Verse 2: Woonhak, Myung Jaehyun]
Woonhak and Myung Jaehyun continue the introspective tone, debunking superficial reasons for affection. It’s not about talent or appearance—it’s simply about the person themselves. This verse further strengthens the theme that true love often exists without reason or conditions.
[Pre-Chorus: Sungho, Leehan, Myung Jaehyun]
This mirrored pre-chorus shifts from emotional damage to the possibility of healing. Rain followed by melting snow symbolizes emotional cleansing and eventual softening. The line urges the loved one to return now that the emotional storm has passed, repeating the fractured count as a motif of incomplete resolution.
[Chorus: Riwoo, Taesan]
The second chorus reiterates the strong emotional ties and desperation not to lose what once was. The repetition reinforces the heartbreak and intensifies the longing. It highlights how the narrator’s sense of belonging and identity is still tethered to the person they lost.
[Refrain: Myung Jaehyun]
Myung Jaehyun’s solo refrain reiterates the enduring desire that transcends time. The emphasis on how time fails to diminish the feeling strengthens the song’s emotional continuity and shows the love remains unwavering.
[Refrain: Leehan, Sungho]
Leehan and Sungho close the song by joining voices in a final declaration of enduring love. The repetition of the earlier refrain by different members not only emphasizes unity in heartbreak but also leaves listeners with a powerful, lingering sentiment—that love, despite pain, persists.
