Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

시간은 rolling rolling rolling rolling (빠르게 돌아가)
늦었어 running running running running (어디든지 click click)

Oh 잠깐 돌아올 생각은 아직 난 (아직 난) 어떡해
Tell me what you want 함께 떠날래 oh oh

매일 똑같은 24시간 하늘 위 눈 부신 태양보다 더
뜨거워 타버릴 것 같아 지금

Sunglass on my eyes yeah 가자 어디든 yeah

난 떠날래 여긴 지루해 쟤 빼고 전부 다 알 듯이
Uh 용과 함께 하늘을 날 거야 like Khaleesi
내가 어디고 누구와 함께냐 묻지 말어
That's ma privacy 난 오늘이 지나도 변함없이 twenty (let's go)

Put your hands up in the sky
낮과 밤이 반대로 돌아가네
무거운 머리를 비우고 baby
오늘만큼은 맘대로 diving

시간은 rolling rolling rolling rolling (빠르게 돌아가)
늦었어 running running running running (어디든지 click click)
Oh 잠깐 돌아올 생각은 아직 난 (아직 난) 어떡해
Tell me what you want 함께 떠날래 oh oh (shh)

Babe relax 걱정 따위 안 해도 돼
Don't want you to clap 끄떡거려 그걸로 충분해
Tonight we gon' be lazy
해가 지고 뜰때까지 나와 같이 don't worry about it all

그래 쉼표가 필요해 (필요해)
1분 1초 너무 tight해 (tight해)
0에서 시작해 100프로 (hunnit hunnit yeah yeah)
걱정을 덜어내 it's OK (it's OK)

Put your hands up in the sky
가만히 아무것도 하지 않아도 돼
하루 종일 멍 때리다 기분이 내킬 때면 가볍게 diving (oh)

시간은 rolling rolling rolling rolling (빠르게 돌아가)
늦었어 running running running running (어디든지 click click)

Oh 잠깐 돌아올 생각은 아직 난 (아직 난) 어떡해
Tell me what you want 함께 떠날래 oh oh

흘러가는 대로 이끌리는 대로
가게 내버려 둬 yeah yeah
나는 머리부터 발끝까지 걍 마이웨이
유행 따윈 따라 하지 않아 난
계속 이대로 baby let's go (oh oh)

시간은 rolling rolling rolling rolling (빠르게 돌아가)
늦었어 running running running running (어디든지 click click)

Oh 잠깐 돌아올 생각은 아직 난 (아직 난) 어떡해
Tell me what you want 함께 떠날래 oh oh
