Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ah, ah

내 맘 조금 이상해

왠지 맘이 조급해

I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

이 밤 가기도 전에

내 맘 들킬까 네게

I hate, I hate, I hate

To wait, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

숨겨둔 내 perfect crime

마음에 새겨 like that

알 수 없지 너는 tonight, ah

너를 향해 던진 dice

Bet I know you like that

말할 수 없어 tonight

Ah, one, two, three, four, five as I'm falling, I go crazy, crazy

One, two, three, four, five as I'm falling, I go crazy, crazy

For ya, for ya, for ya, for ya

For ya, for ya, for ya

For ya, for ya, crazy, crazy

떨리는 이 목소리

너를 기다리잖아

Until you're here, you're here

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

조용했던 내 맘에

너를 마주한 순간

You're there, you're there, you're there

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah

나를 삼킨 perfect crime

마음에 새겨 like that

사라지지 않을 tonight, ah

너를 향해 던진 dice

Bet I know you like that

말할 수 없어 tonight

Ah, one, two, three, four, five as I'm falling

I go crazy, crazy

One, two, three, four, five as I'm falling

I go crazy, crazy

For ya, for ya, for ya, for ya

For ya, for ya, for ya

For ya, for ya, crazy, crazy

Dream 속에 너를 hold you like

Breathe, just imagine a love like this

Everywhere you go

One, two, three, four, five as I'm falling

I go crazy, crazy

One, two, three, four, five as I'm falling

I go crazy, crazy

For ya, for ya, for ya, for ya

(One, two, three, four, five as I'm falling)

For ya, for ya, for ya (I go crazy, crazy)

For ya, for ya (One, two, three, four, five as I'm falling)

I go crazy, crazy
