When I Was Young - BIGFLO
When i was young
내 귓가에 맴도는
친구들 목소리
when i was young
눈을 감아도 선명히
보이는 그 거리로
돌아 가고파 난
돌아 가고파 난
돌아 가고파 난
돌아 가고파 난
돌아 가고파 난
Alright
uh 촌스러운 바지
엄마가 입혀주는
대로 입던 마네킹
항상 무리지어 거리를 거닐던
우리에겐 회초리 말곤
더 무서울게 없었지
친구와 함께 잘때면
괜시리 설레어 밤새 떠들다
새벽을 맞고 잠들어
포근한 햇살이 잠을 깨우던
어린 날의 나 그때의 나
그때 그 시절 모든게
소중한지도 모른채 woo yeah
흘러가버렸지만
내 눈이 담아둔대로
내 귀가 들었던대로
이젠 다시 추억을 걸어
one two step
너와 발을 맞춰
one two three
손을 마주 잡고
one two step
가다 보면 우리 기억이
다시 피어 오르고
one two step
어느덧 시간은
one two three
나를 돌려 두고
one two step
멀어져 간다
When i was young
내 귓가에 맴도는
친구들 목소리
when i was young
눈을 감아도 선명히
보이는 그 거리로
돌아 가고파 난
돌아 가고파 난
돌아 가고파 난
돌아 가고파 난
돌아 가고파 난
When i was young
기억나 너
코 묻히고 다니던 시절
힐리스 신고 바퀴 쌩쌩거리며
왼손엔 실내화 가방을
질질 끌며 뛰어다녔지 but
그 바퀴는 지금 굳은살이 배겨서
감각이 무뎌졌나
잘 생각 안나
돌아가고 싶어 그냥
좋은 게 좋은거고
나쁜 게 나빴던
그냥 쉬웠던 그 시절로
돌아가고파
그때 그 시절 모든게
소중한지도 모른채 woo yeah
흘러가버렸지만
내 눈이 담아둔대로
내 귀가 들었던대로
이젠 다시 추억을 걸어
one two step
너와 발을 맞춰
one two three
손을 마주 잡고
one two step
가다 보면 우리 기억이
다시 피어 오르고
one two step
어느덧 시간은
one two three
나를 돌려 두고
one two step
멀어져 간다
누가 날 좀 잡아주세요
또 흘러 가네 멀어져 가네요
다시 돌아 갈순 없나요
그리운 맘에 다시 추억을 걸어
one two step
너와 발을 맞춰
one two three
손을 마주 잡고
one two step
가다 보면 우리 기억이
다시 피어 오르고
one two step
어느덧 시간은
one two three
나를 돌려 두고
one two step
멀어져 간다
When i was young
내 귓가에 맴도는
친구들 목소리
when i was young




눈을 감아도 선명히
보이는 그 거리로
