Baekhyun “Elevator” Lyrics

Hangul

Okay 내가 가야 할 층을 골라 eh
그곳에 네가 있을지도 몰라 (okay)
나에게 기회를 준다면 (alright)
우린 가보지 못한 곳에 닿을 테니
I’m just tryna get up on ya, this ain’t just enough
오직 나만 갈 수 있게 허락해 줘
I’m onto the way, yeah, baby, onto the mission, yeah
Pushing close 너의 마음속에 아무도 못 들어오게

Skyscraper high, where you at?
난 두렵지 않아
Gettin’ close to your lips
오늘은 꼭 사랑한다고 말할 거야

Elevator, elevator, going up your heart
Elevator, let me get up in the center of your mind
어디에 있을까?
All your love, your thoughts
계속 오르락내리락 알고 싶어 전부 다
너의 마음속에 내가 도착할 수 있게
Elevator, elevator, baby, all your love
Elevator, elevator, let me in your heart

중간에 나타난 그 남자들 사이에
너의 관심을 끌 방법을 찾았지 oh, yeah
지하부터 one, two, three 하늘 끝까지
All the numbers, I can’t read ’em
Counting up like money machinе
얼마나 더 올라갈 수 있을까?
난 누구보다 더 높이 가고 싶은 걸
I can’t be up and down, oh, babe, up and down in you
Stop pushing emеrgency, push emergency

Skyscraper high, where you at? (Oh)
난 두렵지 않아 (ooh)
Gettin’ close to your lips
오늘은 꼭 사랑한다고 말할 거야

Elevator, elevator, going up your heart
Elevator, let me get up in the center of your mind
어디에 있을까?
All your love, your thoughts
계속 오르락내리락 알고 싶어 전부 다 (hey)
너의 마음속에 내가 도착할 수 있게
Elevator, elevator, baby, all your love
Elevator, elevator, let me in your heart

Your eyes
너의 눈을 처음 본 순간
Now I’m going nonstop, up your ground
With my heart bumping up, getting close to yours, oh

Elevator, elevator, going up your heart (oh-yeah)
Elevator, let me get up in the center of your mind
어디 있는 거야?
All your love, your thoughts
계속 오르락내리락 알고 싶어 전부 다 (hey)

Elevator, elevator, baby, all your love (baby, all your love)
Elevator, elevator, let me in your heart

Among all those guys who appeared in between
I found a way to grab your attention, oh, yeah
From the basement to one, two, three, to the end of the sky
All the numbers, I can’t read ’em
Counting up like a money machine
How much higher can I go?
I want to go higher than anyone else
I can’t be up and down, oh, babe, up and down in you
Stop pushing emergency, push emergency

Skyscraper high, where you at? (Oh)
I’m not afraid (ooh)
Gettin’ close to your lips
Today, I’m definitely going to say “I love you”
