Ooh

내 눈 속에 뜨고 저문
채워지며 완성된 My move
Let’s get it right get it right
You know I do or die
두 눈을 감으면 또 들려와
아직도 잔상 위에
날카롭게 서 있지
내 혈관에서 On replay tonight
시간은 날 녹여
그래서 난 더 짙어져
쫓고 쫓겨 All day
멈춰 서는 순간 갈릴 This game
잘 봐 That’s how I play
(흘렸던 눈물이
또다시 이유가 됐어)
What’s wrong 한번 더
What’s more 더 바래
완벽한 순간을 이끌어 내
What’s wrong 한번 더
What’s more 더 바래
사라져갈 모습을 지켜내
저 멀리 이어지고 있어
(Go until we hit the top)
소년이여 어서 날 움직여
(Go until we hit that)
Magic that magic
real magic real magic
깨어지지 않을 꿈에 Only one
Hey
쏟아지는 Flash
All day
이 춤의 끝에
No way
계속돼 ‘Cause Time’s Tickin’
oh Time’s Tickin’ away
맞서고 Replay
All day
We never look back
No way
기억해 ‘Cause Time’s Tickin’
oh Time’s Tickin’ away
Ay 점점 희미해질 색이
내 안에선 진해지지
(Hear my voice)
소년이여 다시
New 차원이 열리네 Answer me
(Wah wah woh)
시간은 널 깎아 다이아몬드처럼
빛을 내 (지도가 돼)
네 속도대로 이미 Keep going
Know that I’m the GOAT GOAT
Way that I’m glowin’
모든 게 다 흐려지고
세상은 차갑고 말은 날카롭대도
Oh never let go
그게 전부의 모습은 아니잖아
망설인 적 없던 내 대답
몇 번이고 또 그렸던 미래
자 이제 현실이 됐어
더 이상 망설이지는 마
시간은 나를 밀어
난 그 위를 다시 걸어
그 한계마저 넘어서
My new world yeah
Hey
쏟아지는 Flash
All day
이 춤의 끝에
No way
계속돼 ‘Cause Time’s Tickin’
oh Time’s Tickin’ away
맞서고 Replay
All day
We never look back
No way
기억해 ‘Cause Time’s Tickin’
oh Time’s Tickin’ away
I wanna fly
눈을 감아
I can’t deny
Ooh
Give it my all I do
내 좌표는 더 선명해져
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’
oh Time’s Tickin’ away
내 눈 속에 뜨고 저문
채워지며 완성된 My move
Let’s get it right get it right
You know I do or die
점점 작아지는 소리
내 안에선 더 커지지
(Hear my voice)
소년이여 너의 춤
차원을 이어내 Answer me
(Wah wah woh)
어느새 좀 더 짙어진
색으로 다가와 계속
(Hear my voice)
시간 속에 가려도
내가 널 찾을게 Answer me
(Wah wah woh)
Hey

English Translation
Ooh
Give it my all I do
My direction becomes clearer
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’ oh Time’s Tickin’ away
What rose and fell within my eyes
Filling up, completing My move
Let’s get it right get it right
You know I do or die
When I close my eyes, I hear it again
In the afterimage
Still standing sharp
Running through my veins, On replay tonight
Time melts me down
That’s why I grow deeper
Chasing and being chased All day
The moment you stop, you get cut in This game
Watch me, That’s how I play
(The tears became my reason once again)
What’s wrong, once again
What’s more, want it more
Bring out the perfect moment
What’s wrong, once again
What’s more, want it more
Hold on to what’s about to fade
It’s reaching far beyond
(Go until we hit the top)
Boy, come make me move
(Go until we hit that)
Magic that magic
real magic real magic
In a dream that won’t break, Only one
Hey
Pouring Flash
All day
At the end of this dance
No way
It goes on,
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’ oh Time’s Tickin’ away
Face it and Replay
All day
We never look back
No way
Remember,
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’ oh Time’s Tickin’ away
Ay colors meant to fade
Deepens in me
(Hear my voice)
Boy, once again
A New dimension opens, Answer me
(Wah wah woh)
Time carves you into a diamond
Makes you shine (Becomes your map)
Already at your own pace, Keep going
Know that I’m the GOAT GOAT
Way that I‘m glowin’
When everything blurs
When the world turns cold, words cut deep
Oh never let go
That’s not all there is
My answer never wavered
The future I drew again and again
Now it has become real
Don’t hesitate anymore
Time pushes me forward
I walk through it again
Beyond that limit,
My new world yeah
Hey
Pouring Flash
All day
At the end of this dance
No way
It goes on,
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’ oh Time’s Tickin’ away
Face it and Replay
All day
We never look back
No way
Remember,
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’ oh Time’s Tickin’ away
I wanna fly
Close my eyes
I can’t deny
Ooh
Give it my all I do
My direction becomes clearer
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’ oh Time’s Tickin’ away
What rose and fell within my eyes
Filling up, completing My move
Let’s get it right get it right
You know I do or die
Fading sound
Gets louder in me
(Hear my voice)
Boy, your dance
Bridges dimensions, Answer me
(Wah wah woh)
In deeper shades
Keeps coming closer
(Hear my voice)
Even hidden in time
I’ll find you, Answer me
(Wah wah woh)
Hey
Won’t let go
All day
Even hurt, Won’t break
No way
It goes on,
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’ oh Time’s Tickin’ away
We never end
All day
Like an echo, it stays
No way
Remember,
‘Cause Time’s Tickin’ oh Time’s Tickin’ away
