Lyrics

Korean
Oh 눈부시게 빛나던 불꽃들이 사라진 거리엔 어둠이란 차가운 베일이 싸인 듯해 따뜻한 네 손등마저 서늘해진 느낌 멈칫하는 순간 펼쳐진 기묘한 그 판타진 나에게서 너를 빼앗아 심술궂은 장난처럼 두 눈과 귀를 가리고 속이려고 해봐도 We’ll be fine 다 꿈이란 걸 잊지 마 기억해 그만 놓아줘 Baby bye-bye 한밤중 우리를 삼킨 건 단지 Nightmare, nightmare 악몽일 뿐야 아침햇살이 입 맞추면 전부 Nightmare, nightmare 사라질 뿐야 Close your eyes, make a wish 나쁜 꿈에서 깨 가장 반짝이던 우릴 떠올려 괜찮아질 거야 곧 (괜찮아질 거야 곧) (Yeah yeah) 또 흐릿해져 우릴 축복하듯 바라보던 관람차도 (Ah-ah) 널 불러봐도 아무 대답 없어 불안함만 자꾸 커져 걸음이 조금씩 느려져 (Hush) 온몸이 (Sleep) 무겁지 (Go to sleep) 날 잡아당기는 Bad dream (Ay ay) 우리 둘 사이 틈으로 숨어들어 온대도 We’ll be fine 다 꿈이란 걸 기억해 (기억해) 셋을 세 (셋을 세) 그만 놓아줘 (One two) Baby bye-bye 한밤중 우리를 삼킨 건 단지 Nightmare, nightmare 악몽일 뿐야 (걱정마) 아침햇살이 입 맞추면 전부 Nightmare, nightmare (Nightmare) 사라질 뿐야 (Yeah) Close your eyes, make a wish (Make a wish) 나쁜 꿈에서 깨 가장 반짝이던 우릴 떠올려 괜찮아질 거야 곧 (괜찮아질 거야 곧) 조금만 기다려 이 밤이 다 지나면 어디에 있든지 찾아갈게 (Whoa-oh whoa) 악몽에서 깨면 날 소리 높여 불러 한달음에 달려가 난 네게로 (Ah) 한밤중 우리를 삼킨 건 단지 Nightmare, nightmare (단지 Nightmare, 단지 Nightmare) 악몽일 뿐야 (악몽일 뿐야) 끝이 안 보이는 암흑도 (암흑도 Yeah) 전부 Nightmare, nightmare (전부 Nightmare) 사라질 뿐야 그냥 즐기려 해 (즐겨봐) 까만 밤의 축젠 (Yeah) 그리 길지 않다는 걸 아니까 (Fun) 마치 거짓말처럼 (마치 거짓말처럼) 그날처럼 Have some fun

Oh, dazzlingly The shining flames On the street that's disappeared Darkness is cold It feels like a veil Even the warm back of your hand Feels cooler The moment you stop, it unfolds That strange fantasy Takes you away from me Like a mean prank Cover your eyes and ears Even if it tries to trick you, we’ll be fine Don’t forget that it’s all a dream, remember Don’t let me go Baby bye-bye What swallowed us up in the middle of the night Just a nightmare, nightmare It’s just a nightmarе When the morning sunlight kisses you It was all a nightmare, nightmare It just disappears Close your eyes, make a wish Wake up from a bad dream Think of us who shined the brightest It’ll be okay soon (It’ll be okay soon) (Yeah yeah) It gets blurry again As if blessing us The Ferris wheel I was looking at (Ah-ah) Even if I call you There’s no answer My anxiety keeps growing My steps slow down little by little (Hush) My whole body (Sleep) It’s heavy (Go to sleep) The bad dream pulls me in (Ay ay) In the distance between the two of us Even if you sneak in, we’ll be fine Remember it’s all a dream (Remember) Count to three (Count to three) Don’t let me go (One two) Baby bye-bye What swallowed us up in the middle of the night Just a nightmare, nightmare It’s just a nightmarе (Don’t worry) When the morning sunlight kisses you It was all a nightmare, nightmare (Nightmare) It just disappears (Yeah) Close your eyes, make a wish (Make a wish) Wake up from a bad dream Think of us who shined the brightest It’ll be okay soon (It’ll be okay soon) Hang in there When this night is over I’ll find you, wherever you are (Whoa-oh whoa) When I wake up from a nightmare Call out to me loudly I’ll run to you without stopping (Ah) What swallowed us up in the middle of the night Just a nightmare, nightmare(Just a nightmare, just a nightmare) It’s just a nightmarе (It’s just a nightmarе) Even the never-ending darkness (암흑도 Yeah) Is all a nightmare, nightmare (All a nightmare) It just disappears Just try to enjoy it (Enjoy it) A celebration of the black night (Yeah) ‘Cause I know it’s not that long (Fun) Like a lie (Like a lie) Like that day, have some fun
