It Takes Two (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Those summer days were carefree and full of joy, just lying on the sand and enjoying each other’s company.

[Refrain]
They were always playing around, teasing and laughing. In quiet moments, there was a soft, loving request for reassurance—wanting to feel like they truly belonged to each other.

[Pre-Chorus]
Real life started to creep in, bringing a sense of coldness or uncertainty. As the good times fade, there’s a worry about what happens next.

[Chorus]
A relationship needs effort from both sides. Sweet talk isn’t enough—it’s real feelings and actions that matter. She wants her partner to be honest and fully in it with her. If they’re going to do this right, both of them have to show up with love, commitment, and sincerity. It can’t just be one-sided.

[Verse 2]
They once made big promises in front of everyone, acting like their love was unshakable. She really believed in what they had. But now, things are falling apart, and she feels like everything is crashing down, even though she once trusted completely.

[Refrain]
She’s tired of vague words and wants a direct answer. Again, she quietly asks for confirmation of love, needing emotional security. And just like before, there’s that uneasy feeling creeping in about what’s next when things stop feeling so magical.

[Chorus]
She’s asking for more than just words. Real love needs honesty, not sweet lies. She’s telling him that if this relationship is going to work, both of them need to show real care. She hates the feeling of things going wrong and wants him to treat her and the relationship with the love and effort it deserves.

[Bridge]
Both of them have to be involved if they want the relationship to work. She knows he’s sometimes immature, but also brave in his own way. Still, the relationship feels shaky, like they’re not on stable ground emotionally.

[Chorus]
She’s pleading again for truth and depth instead of empty promises. She wants to feel genuinely loved and not just hear the words. It takes real emotion from both of them to make things work. She’s frustrated and tired of feeling like she’s the only one trying, and she’s asking him to meet her halfway.

[Post-Chorus]
Love needs both people to fuel it—it’s like starting a fire. She doesn’t want lies or fake affection. Her feelings are intense, and her love is burning strong. She’s saying enough talking—it’s time for action. The passion is there, but it needs to be real and mutual to last.
