Sweet Dream
NCT U Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La,la,la,la, la,la
Maybe it's a kind of day
침대에 누운 채 굳이 나가기엔
매일 똑같았던 길었던 내 하루
끝에 네가 온 거야
널 만난 그 순간
Yeah, I can make anything from nothin'
내 꿈에 주인은 너와 나
You are so sweet 달콤한 dream
그 안을 너만의 story로 채워줘
Don't you dare open your eyes
아침이 와도 괜찮아
내가 필요할 땐 언제든 눈을 감으면
다시 우리만의 sweet dream을 꾸게 될 거야
둘만의 밤을 찾아 dream on
Girl 너는 어때?
그냥 그랬던 하루가 특별해졌을 텐데
Time is never wasted 나와 함께라면
날아갈 듯해 마음마저 따듯해져
널 안은 이 순간
Yeah, you can make everything from nothin'
네 꿈에 주인은 너와 나
You are so sweet 달콤한 dream
그 안을 너만의 story로 채워줘
Don't you dare open your eyes
아침이 와도 괜찮아
내가 필요할 땐 언제든 눈을 감으면
다시 우리만의 sweet dream을 꾸게 될 거야
둘만의 밤을 찾아 dream on
구름 사이 spotlight (spotlight)
우리는 서롤 바라보며
그 빛을 따라 춤을 춰
빛을 따라 춤을 춰
떠오른 태양의 그림자 속에 숨어
깨고 싶지 않잖아 private movie
꿈보다 더 꿈같은 다가온 our climax
You are so sweet 달콤한 dream
그 안을 너만의 story로 채워줘
Don't you dare open your eyes
아침이 와도 괜찮아
두 눈을 꼭 감고 남은 별을 세다 보면
다시 우리만의 sweet dream을 꾸게 될 거야
둘만의 밤을 찾아 dream on
La,la,la,la, la,la, la,la
From this dream, I don't wanna wake up
La,la,la,la, la,la
La,la,la,la, la,la
우리는 매일 밤 sweet dream을 꾸게 될 거야
In this dream wanna be with you
