Oh-uh-oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh

Oh-uh-oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh

From the get-go, I knew this was hard to hold
Like a crash, the whole thing spun out of control
Oh, on a wire, we were dancing
Two kids, no consequences
Pull the trigger without thinking
There's only one way down this road

It was like a time bomb set into motion
We knew that we were destined to explode
And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you go
We're like a time bomb, gonna lose it
Let's diffuse it
Baby, we're like a time bomb, but I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way

Well, there's no way out of this, so let's stay in
Every storm that comes also comes to an end
Oh, resistance is useless
Just two kids stupid and fearless
Like a bullet shooting the lovesick
There's only one way down this road

It was like a time bomb set into motion
We knew that we were destined to explode
And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you go
We're like a time bomb, gonna lose it
Let's diffuse it
Baby, we're like a time bomb, but I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way

Got my heart in your hands
Like a time bomb ticking
It goes off, we start again
When it breaks, we fix it
Got your heart in my hands
Like a time bomb ticking
We should know better
But we won't let go

It was like a time bomb set into motion
We knew that we were destined to explode
And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you let me go
We're like a time bomb, gonna lose it
Let's diffuse it
Baby, we're like a time bomb, but I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way

Line by Line Meaning

From the get-go, I knew this was hard to hold
I knew from the beginning that this was something that couldn't be easily tamed


Like a crash, the whole thing spun out of control
Just like a car crash, our situation spiraled out of control


Oh, on a wire, we were dancing
We were taking risks and living dangerously, like dancing on a tightrope


Two kids, no consequences
We were young and carefree, not thinking about the consequences of our actions


Pull the trigger without thinking
We acted impulsively without considering the ramifications


There's only one way down this road
We were on a path that only led to destruction


It was like a time bomb set into motion
Our relationship was like a ticking time bomb that was bound to explode


We knew that we were destined to explode
We both knew that our relationship couldn't last forever without a big blowout


And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage
If our relationship self-destructed, I would be there to help pick up the pieces


You know I'm never gonna let you go
I'll always be there for you, no matter what


We're like a time bomb, gonna lose it
Our relationship is like a ticking time bomb that will eventually explode and cause us to lose control


Let's diffuse it
We should try to calm down and prevent our relationship from blowing up


Baby, we're like a time bomb, but I need it
Even though it's dangerous, I still need you and our relationship in my life


Wouldn't have it any other way
I couldn't imagine life without our intense and volatile relationship


Well, there's no way out of this, so let's stay in
We've gone too far to turn back now, so we might as well ride it out together


Every storm that comes also comes to an end
Our stormy relationship won't last forever, eventually it will come to an end


Resistance is useless
It's pointless to resist the allure and excitement of our relationship


Just two kids stupid and fearless
We're naive and irrational, taking risks without thinking of the consequences


Like a bullet shooting the lovesick
Our love is like a powerful force propelling us forward, even though it may be painful


Got my heart in your hands
You have the power to break my heart with your actions and decisions


It goes off, we start again
Even when our relationship implodes, we'll find a way to pick up the pieces and start anew


When it breaks, we fix it
No matter how much damage our relationship sustains, we'll work to repair it and make it better


Got your heart in my hands
I have the power to hurt you deeply if I'm not careful


We should know better
We're aware of the risks and dangers of our relationship, but we can't help ourselves


But we won't let go
No matter how much we struggle or fight, we can't let go of our intense attraction and connection

Let's defuse it
Baby, we're like a time-bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way
Well there's no way out of this
So let's stay in
Every storm that comes
Also comes to an end
Oh, resistance is useless

Baby we're like a time-bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way

Time bomb-All time low

From the get-go I knew this was hard to hold 
처음부터 이걸 하기에는 어렵다는걸 알고있었지만

Like a crash the whole thing spun out of control 
충돌처럼 모든것이 통제불능이 되었고

Oh, on a wire, we were dancing 
오, 외줄 위에서,우리는 춤을 추고있었지

Two kids, no consequences 
두명의 아이,결론은 없어

Pull the trigger, without thinking 
방아쇠를 당겨,생각 없이

There's only one way down this road 
길은 오직 하나뿐이야

It was like a time bomb set into motion 
그것은 터질려는 시한 폭탄 같았어

We knew that we were destined to explode
우리는 우리가 폭발해버릴 운명이라는 것을 알아

And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage 
그리고 내가 너를 잔해에서 꺼내준다면

You know I'm never gonna let you go 
너는 내가 너를 절대 보내지 않을거라는걸 알아

We're like a time bomb 
우리는 폭탄처럼

Gonna lose it, let's defuse it 
파괴시키자, 부셔버리자

Baby, we're like a time bomb 
우리는 시한 폭탄처럼

But I need it 
나는 그것이 필요해

Wouldn't have it any other way 
다른길이 없다면

Well there's no way out of this 
여길 빠저나갈 길이 없다면

So let's stay in 
그냥 여기서 머물자

Every storm that comes, 
다가올 폭풍은

Also comes to an end. 
끝이 있을거야

Oh, resistance is useless 
오,저항은 소용 없어

Just two kids stupid and fearless 
두명의 멍청하고 용감한 아이

Like a bullet shooting the love-sick 
상사병 같이 날아가는 총알

There's only one way down this road 
길은 오직 하나 뿐이야

It was like a time bomb set into motion 
그것은 폭발하려는 시한폭탄처럼

We knew that we were destined to explode 
우리는 우리의 운명이 터질거라는걸 알지

And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage 
그리고 만약 내가 너를 잔해에서 꺼내준다면

You know I'm never gonna let you go 
너는 내가 너를 절대 보내지 않을거라는 걸 알아

We're like a time bomb
우리는 시한폭탄처럼

Gonna lose it, let's defuse it 
파괴시키자,부셔버리자

Baby, we're like a time bomb 
우리는 시한폭탄처럼

But I need it 
나는 그것이 필요해

Wouldn't have it any other way 
다른 방법은 없을거야

Got my heart in your hands, like a time bomb ticking 
내 심장을 너의 손에 쥐어줄게, 시한 폭탄이 울리는 것 처럼

It goes off, we start again 
그것은 폭발하고,우리는 다시 시작할거야

When it breaks, we fix it
그것이 부서질 때, 우리는 그것을 고칠거야

Got your heart in my hands, like a time bomb ticking 
내 심장을 너의 손에 쥐어줄게,시한폭탄이 울리는 것 처럼

We should know better,
우리는 더 낫다는 걸 알아야해

But we won't let go 
그러나 우리는 놔주지 말아야 해

It was like a time bomb set into motion 
마치 시한폭탄이 터질려하듯이

We knew that we were destined to explode
우리는 우리의 운명이 터질 것이란걸 알아

And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage 
그리고 내가 너를 잔해에서 꺼내준다면

You know I'm never gonna let you let me go 
너는 내가 너를 놔주지 않을거란걸 알지

Like a time bomb 
시한폭탄처럼

Gonna lose it, let's defuse it 
파괴시키자,부숴버리자

Baby we're like a time bomb 
우리는 시한폭탄처럼

But I need it 
그러나 나는 그것이 필요해

Wouldn't have it any other way 
다른 방법은 없을거야

평일 학교 끝나고 친구들이랑 피방 달려가던 그 기억
엄마한테 혼날까봐 용돈 받은 것들 몰래몰래 틴캐시 3만원 사서 골드패키지 까던 그 기억
인생강화 붙었을 때의 그 기억
왕뚜껑 하나 먹으며 게임 했던 그 기억
피방 갔다가 저녁에 축구하러 갔던 그 기억
4시간 접속 이벤트때 자리 없을까봐 피방으로 달렸던 그 기억
프로패셔널찍고 좋아했던 그 기억
수업시간 내내 스쿼드 짜기에 몰두했던 그 기억
10드록바 떳다고 미쳐 날뛰던 그 기억

그때 생각이 새록새록 ,,, 진짜 고맙다 많은 추억 남겨줘서
그 시절 순수했던 학생은 이제 군대로 간다
