LYRICS
Someone like you, there's only one in this world
We tamed each other, you and I
Reference to the book The Little Prince (which Minisode 3: TOMORROW draws inspiration from) where the fox asks to be tamed by the Prince: "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world . . ." / "But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life"
To me who wanted to run away
There was a child who said, 'Let's meet again tomorrow.'
I was dazzled by the sparkle
Your hands slipped out of mine
After wandering for so long
I realized the meaning of your words from long ago
I believe we are meant to be
It's okay if you're late, I'll always be here
I'll be waiting in tomorrow
There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow
There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you thеre tomorrow
There'll bе no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow
There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow
There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow
Because of your golden hair
It's like loving a shining wheat field
The two lines above are a reference to the book The Little Prince: “You see the wheat fields over there? […] Wheat fields say nothing to me. Which is sad. But you have hair the color of gold. So it will be wonderful, once you’ve tamed me! The wheat, which is golden, will remind me of you. And I’ll love the sound of the wind in the wheat”
Just hearing the sound of your footsteps
Will be enough to make me happy
In that simple promise
There were only ordinary words
But the excitement that I feel in every moment
Feels like a miracle brought to me because of you
I believe we are meant to be
It's okay if you're late, I'll always be here
I'll be waiting in tomorrow
There'll be no more sorrow, I'll see you there tomorrow
Recall the promise between you and me
I will definitely recognize you
In the dedication to The Little Prince Antoine de Saint-Exupéry writes, "All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it." This sentiment is woven throughout the story and is reflected in TXT's concept trailer for Minisode 3, where the boys, now adults, no longer recognize the fox. The lyrics here suggest that even as they grow up, the boys vow to remember the fox, ensuring they can meet again tomorrow.
The "us" who will meet tomorrow
We'll be together beyond that
I'll see you there tomorrow
Together beyond that, I'll see you there tomorrow
Together beyond that, I'll see you there tomorrow
Together beyond that, I'll see you there tomorrow
Together beyond that, I'll see you there tomorrow
