My name is,
/v.1/
Woah, baby.
When did you, slide right into my lane?
Pause, replay.
A look-see near the back door,
Soon the tip of my tongue tasted like your last drink.
\pre-ch\
Can’t breathe, can’t seem, to speak,
When you’re onto me.
Against the wall, fingers reach in between.
You wanna believe that this is it,
You wanna believe all along I needed this.
Ooh~
/ch/
When every word you whisper washes over mine,
It don’t even matter if I wanna know why~
As soon as you knew it,
If I was still afraid,
That we were meant to…
(My name is, my name is, my name is…) x3
Who am I?
\v.2\
Woah, baby.
Does it matter if I lock the closet door?
Oh no, baby.
Why don’t we let ‘em all know we’re natural?
No, we really don’t, really we don’t mind,
If they never know, that us girls we flow,
From the first hello.
Just let them figure out,
Whatever name to call us.
Ooh~
/v.3/
When every word you whisper washes over mine,
It don’t even matter if I wanna know why~
As soon as you knew it,
If I was still afraid,
That we were meant to…
\bridge\
You’re dancin’ with my life,
Don’t hide, must hide.
They’re opening the door,
Don’t go…
I’m gone.
Where? To where?
First time’s the last time.
Oh no~
/ch/
When every word you whisper washes over mine,
It don’t even matter when I wanna know why~
As soon as you knew it,
Why I’m still so afraid?
That we were meant to…
(Oh no~)
(My name is, my name is, my name is…) x3
Who am I?

Author's Note
At the surface, this song is about two people who fall in love instantly, despite all odds, and it's a sultry infatuation with private rooms and alcohol. Upon a deeper look, you see that one lover is more comfortable than the other in the relationship and that caused one of them to run away. But if you want the truth, it is about my love life and how difficult it has been lately discovering new things about myself and learning to accept them with who I choose to love. Who you love can change how you think of yourself, and often that reframes what labels/traits you choose to identify with.

The “my name is” refrain kept reminding me of The Real Slim Shady by Eminem. I’m not well-read when it comes to lyrics and am an absolute beginner re K-pop, but I enjoyed some of the lyrics you’ve presented here, which feel like they’d be fun to hear over a pop beat.
