LYRICS (translations by @translatingTXT):

So itchy, so itchy

So itchy, so itchy

The Korean title of this song is 간지러워 (ganjireowo), which refers to the sensation of feeling itchy or having an itch; while the word itself does not have a direct English translation, it is often translated as “itchy.” In the context of the song 간지러워 ("itchy") is not meant to be taken as a literal itch; it is instead used metaphorically to express a feeling of restlessness, excitement or nervousness.

I’m blank, I’ve lost my mind

I can’t even open my eyes

It was the first time

I was scared

But I lied

A knocking sound echoes in my head

(So itchy, so itchy)

It’s already high, but it only gets higher

(So itchy, so itchy)

My body leans back, I can see the sky

Beyond those clouds, I see the cliff

My fists are clenched

My mouth is dry

I am falling

Hold my hand, open your eyes

My heart is floating around my body, it’s itchy

Hold my hand, we gon' fall right now

Birds are singing in my head, it’s itchy

It itches from the bottom of my spine to the top of my head

Now I can finally hear the sound of your laughter

Same we are

The cold wind, the sky-blue sensation

The ecstatic fall, an eternal moment

I’m not afraid

Don't let go of my hand

It's time, we fall

Hold my hand, open your eyes

My heart is floating around my body, it’s itchy

Hold my hand, we gonna fall right now

Birds are singing in my head, it’s itchy

Don’t hesitate, don’t be afraid

Beyond the cliff, into the empty air you push me

For some reason, I don’t hate it at all 

I keep on bursting into laughter

Hold my hand, open your eyes

My heart is floating around my body, it’s itchy

Hold my hand, we gon fall right now

Birds are singing in my head, it’s itchy

So itchy, so itchy

My heart is floating around my body
