I Want You
SHINee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

하얀 바다에 빠져
까만 선율이 번져
나의 너를 그려내
잊혀졌던 memory
조각 같은 눈물이
되감아 지길 바래
두 눈 감아 oh na na na
꿈이라도 좋으니
너를 내게 보여줘
널 불러 oh na na na
긴 시간 넘어 다시 이곳으로

I want you
눈앞에 니가 다시 다가와
그때와 다른 결말이 오길 (oh)
I can't let you go
매일 나 그려왔던 바로 이 순간
I said I want you
I can't let you go
끝없이 기다려온 바로 이 순간
I said I want you

푸르게 번진 이 장면 속에
세상엔 오직 너와 나뿐
눈을 봐도 알 수 있겠지
이제 네 맘 놓치지 않기
달콤히 속삭인 노래들과 It's you (you, you)

날 깨우면 oh na na na (oh na na)
저무는 내 미소가
현실을 또 마주해 (또 다시 난)
다시 난 oh na na na
이 꿈결 속에 잠길 수 있다면

I want you
눈앞에 니가 다시 다가와
그때와 다른 결말이 오길 (oh)
I can't let you go
매일 나 그려왔던 바로 이 순간
I said I want you
I can't let you go
끝없이 기다려온 바로 이 순간
I said I want you

잔을 가득 채운 기억이 넘쳐
흐르는 밤 oh na na na
희미해진 경계 기억 너머 내게 와
'Cause I

I want you
더 깊이 내게 밀려온 맘이
파도처럼 날 삼켜버려도
I can't let you go
한 번 더 눈 감으면 다시 니 곁에 (다시 니 곁에)
I said I want you
Oh na na na (yeah)
Oh na na na
I can't let you go (can't let you go)




내일 나 눈을 뜨면 너의 품속에
I, I said I want you (oh na na na)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of SHINee's song "I Want You" are deeply emotional and passionate, describing a longing for a lost love. The opening lines paint a vivid image of being engulfed in a white sea while a dark melody spreads throughout.
