Hold me, no question

Head to toe enveloped

The background fades away

A universe for just the two of us

Starlight is a silent choir

Drowning in your deep eyes

The long, long day that tormented me

I've forgotten it all in an instant

Everything except you is a decrescendo

Whisper to me like a dream

A velvet texture against my ear

Willingly holding each other

We light up the dark night

Oh my god, out of control

Love that wandered on its own

Took away my metronome

I'm deep in shallow

Deep in shallow

Ah-

A romantic fairytale

Even if it isn't a happy ending

It's our destiny to choose each other

Whose permission could I possibly need?

I don't need any at all

My flushed heart goes higher

Overflowing desire

Oh my god, out of control

Love that wandered on its own

Took away my metronome

I'm deep in shallow

Deep in shallow

(You're here for me

I'm here for ya)

Ya, you're my conductor

Be my drummer

Allegro or I can lento for ya

You are always living inside my heart

Now I can feel crescendo

Even if I give you everything

My world is not a waste

Willingly holding each other

We light up the dark night

Oh my god, out of control

Love that wandered on its own

Took away my metronome

I'm deep in shallow

Deep in shallow

안아줘 no question

Head to toe enveloped

사라지는 배경

단둘인 우주

별빛은 silent choir

네 짙은 눈에 잠겨

날 괴롭히던 long long day

다 잊어버려 어느새

너 말곤 decrescendo

꿈처럼 속삭여줘

귓가의 velvet texture

기꺼이 서롤 안고

어두운 밤을 밝혀

Oh my god out of control

제멋대로 헤맨 love

Took away my metronome

I'm deep in shallow

Deep in shallow

Ah-

낭만적인 fairytale

Happy ending이 아니라도

서로를 선택할 운명이지

누구의 허락 따윈

하나도 필요 없어

달아오른 맘은 higher

넘쳐흘러버린 desire

Oh my god out of control

제멋대로 헤맨 love

Took away my metronome

I'm deep in shallow

Deep in shallow

(You're here for me

I'm here for ya)

Ya, you're my conductor

Be my drummer

Allegro or I can lento for ya

넌 언제나 내 심장 속에 사는 중이야

Now I can feel crescendo

모든 걸 네게 줘도

아깝지 않은 my world

기꺼이 서롤 안고

어두운 밤을 밝혀

Oh my god out of control

제멋대로 헤맨 love

Took away my metronome

I'm deep in shallow

Deep in shallow
