[English]

My breath gets rough

My heart keeps racing

I'm shouting "Let's follow what we want to do"

I don't want to hesitate anymore

After getting ready

When I become an adult...

What will it be like?

Now One, Two, Three, Countdown!

It feels like anything is possible

You know those days for no reason

Today feels like 10/10 to me

Yeah, with headphones on, play any song

Even the weather is groovy

Hi-five to the sky with my hand

The long wait

Was always boring, but now (even that)

Yeah, my heart pounds every day

Changes for no reason

I like even that (Ah)

When we count to three, let's jump far

My breath gets rough

My heart keeps racing (Countdown!)

I'm shouting "Let's follow what we want to do"

I don't want to hesitate anymore

After getting ready

Now One, Two, Three, Countdown!

Message with a friend full of 'lol'

Staying up all night without realizing time passes

Yeah, no one can be sure

Turn your eyes as your heart desires, Let's get it, right?

Don't need it, things like a big umbrella

Even in pouring rain, always walk straight

No diggity, somehow that luck

Seems to be on my side

At the end of the long wait

Kick start on the always boring days (Go high)

Yeah, my heart pounds every day

Changes for no reason

I like even that (Ah)

When we count to three, let's jump far

My breath gets rough

My heart keeps racing (Countdown!)

I'm shouting "Let's follow what we want to do"

I don't want to hesitate anymore

After getting ready

Now One, Two, Three, Countdown!

La La La

La La La La La

La La La

La La La La La

La La La

La La La La La

Only now

I came to realize

What my heart shouts

Now One, Two, Three, Countdown!

Really...

I think it will be fun

Now One, Two, Three, Countdown!

[Korean]

거칠어진 숨이

자꾸 뛰는 심장이

하고 싶은 걸 따라가자 외치는 거야

더 이상 망설이기 싫은 날

준비하고서

어른이 되면…

어떨 것 같아?

이제 One, Two, Three, Countdown!

뭐든 가능할 것 같은

괜히 그런 날 있잖아

오늘이 마치 10/10 to me

Yeah 헤드폰 끼고 아무 노래를 Play

하필 날씨마저 Groovy 해

하늘 위로 손을 Hi-five

기나긴 기다림이

늘 지루했었는데 이젠 (그조차)

Yeah 매일 두근대고 있잖아

이유도 모를 Changes

그것마저도 난 좋아 (Ah)

셋 하면 멀리 뛰자

거칠어진 숨이

자꾸 뛰는 심장이 (Countdown!)

하고 싶은 걸 따라가자 외치는 거야

더 이상 망설이기 싫은 날

준비하고서

Now One, Two, Three, Countdown!

‘ㅋ’ 가득해 Message with a friend

시간 가는 거 모른 채 밤을 새

Yeah 누구도 장담 못 해

맘 가는 대로 눈 돌려 Let’s get it, right?

Don’t need it 큰 우산 따위

쏟아진 비에도 Always walk straight

No diggity 왠지 그 행운이

내 편인 듯해

기나긴 기다림 끝

늘 지루하던 날에 Kick start (Go high)

Yeah 매일 두근대고 있잖아

이유도 모를 Changes

그것마저도 난 좋아 (Ah)

셋 하면 멀리 뛰자

거칠어진 숨이

자꾸 뛰는 심장이 (Countdown!)

하고 싶은 걸 따라가자 외치는 거야

더 이상 망설이기 싫은 날

준비하고서

Now One, Two, Three, Countdown!

La La La

La La La La La

La La La

La La La La La

La La La

La La La La La

이제서야

나 알게 됐어

마음이 외치는

Now One, Two, Three, Countdown!

진짜...

재미있을 것 같아

이제 One, Two, Three, Countdown!
