Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
좁혀 우리 사이 빈틈 uh
여긴 숨 막힌 공기만 가득
못 참겠어 더 이상
그냥 날 따라와
우릴 끌어당긴 낯선 떨림에 올라
널 얽맨 시선 가둔 미래 거슬러
구름 위 꼭대기
꿈꿔온 지금 우린 높이 떠올라
Yeah, uh (uh)!
Ooh uh, ya!
꿈꿔온 지금 우린 높이 떠올라
우리만의 통로로
떠나볼까 하늘로
우리 꿈조차 상상조차 못한 게 현실로
유리창 너머 펼쳐진
저 눈부신 야경이
우리 미래 같아 색칠해
이 도시 구석까지
우릴 끌어당긴 낯선 떨림에 올라
널 얽맨 시선 가둔 미래 거슬러
우리 말고 사라진
구름 위 꼭대기
꿈꿔온 지금 우린 높이 떠올라
Yeah, uh (uh)!
Ooh uh, ya!
꿈꿔온 지금 우린 높이 떠올라
Ooh 처음 너를 마주한 그때
수줍던 네 모습 아직 다 선명해
Ooh 처음 느껴보는 떨림
오래 기다렸던 별빛
쏟아지듯 나를 향해 내려와 uh
Let me do it, do it all night
도시의 품 속에 다 잠든 밤
Non stop 기분 좋은 feeling에
밤을 새워도 끝이 없을 우리들의 얘기
화려한 불빛이 사라지기 전에 미리
내일이 또 밝기 전에 가볼까 저 멀리
밤의 어둠 위로 우리 상상 위로
좀 더 높이 저 끝까지
Let me one more time
One more time, one more time, yeah eh uh
One more time, one more time
손을 잡은
One more time, one more time, oh baby ooh
꿈꿔온 지금 우린 높이 떠올라, ooh nah
Yeah (yeah) uh 짜릿한 꿈 속
Na na na 하늘 위로
떠올라 yeah (떠올라 yeah)
잊지 못할 순간
그 속의 너와 나
이 끝이 없는 밤 one more time
