Hey yeah
헤이 예
The moment I saw you
너를 본 순간
My heart went boom boom
심장이 쿵쿵 뛰었어
Lights on
조명이 켜지고
Eyes locked
눈이 마주쳤지
I knew it too soon
너무나 빨리 알아버렸어
You walk in like it’s nothing
넌 아무것도 아닌 듯 걸어 들어와
Like you don’t feel the spark
불꽃이 튀는 것도 못 느끼는 듯이
But every step you’re taking
하지만 네가 내딛는 한 걸음 한 걸음이
Hits me right in the heart
내 심장을 정면으로 타격해
You laugh like you’re not trying
넌 애쓰지 않는다는 듯 웃지만
Like you don’t know it’s true
그게 진실인 걸 모르는 것 같지만
But everybody’s watching
모든 사람이 지켜보고 있어
Every move you do
네가 하는 모든 움직임을
You say you’re just being you
넌 그저 너답게 행동할 뿐이라 말하지만
But you don’t see what I do
내가 무엇을 보는지 넌 알지 못해
Every second pulls me closer
매 순간이 나를 더 가까이 끌어당겨
Yeah it’s always been you
그래, 언제나 너였던 거야
The moment I saw you
너를 본 그 순간
My heart said that’s you
내 심장은 너라고 말했어
No thinking it through
깊이 생각할 필요도 없이
No maybe, no maybe
설마 하는 망설임도 없이
The moment I saw you
너를 본 그 순간
It felt so brand new
모든 게 완전히 새롭게 느껴졌어
I’m stuck on you
너에게 푹 빠져버렸어
Yeah baby, yeah baby
그래 베이비, 예 베이비
You play it cool like always
넌 언제나처럼 쿨하게 굴지
Like you don’t feel a thing
아무것도 느끼지 못하는 것처럼
But every little smile you drop
하지만 네가 흘리는 작은 미소 하나하나가
Is pulling me right in
나를 네 안으로 끌어당겨
You say I’m exaggerating
넌 내가 과장한다고 말해
Say I’m moving too fast
내가 너무 서두른다고 말해
But when you look my way
하지만 네가 나를 바라볼 때
I know this feeling lasts
이 느낌이 계속될 거란 걸 알아
You think it’s just a moment
넌 그저 찰나의 순간이라 생각하겠지만
But it’s more than you know
네가 아는 것보다 그 이상의 의미야
Every time our eyes meet
우리 눈이 마주칠 때마다
I lose all my control
난 자제력을 잃어버려
The moment I saw you
너를 본 그 순간
My heart said that’s you
내 심장은 너라고 말했어
No thinking it through
깊이 생각할 필요도 없이
No maybe, no maybe
설마 하는 망설임도 없이
The moment I saw you
너를 본 그 순간
It felt so brand new
모든 게 완전히 새롭게 느껴졌어
I’m stuck on you
너에게 푹 빠져버렸어
Yeah baby, yeah baby
그래 베이비, 예 베이비
Step closer
한 걸음 더 다가와
Right here
바로 여기
One look
한 번의 시선에
It’s clear
명확해졌어
No doubt
의심은 없어
No fear
두려움도 없어
That moment
그 순간은
Was real
진짜였으니까
The moment I saw you
너를 본 그 순간
I knew it was true
그게 진실이란 걸 알았어
No words needed
말은 필요 없었지
I felt it, I felt it
느꼈으니까, 난 느꼈어
The moment I saw you
너를 본 그 순간
My world just moved
내 세상이 움직였어
If you feel it too
너도 똑같이 느낀다면
Come say it, come say it
어서 말해줘, 어서 말해줘
Hey yeah
헤이 예
The moment I saw you
너를 본 그 순간
I never looked away
난 한 번도 눈을 돌린 적 없어
