NCT WISH “Steady” Lyrics

Hangul

Let’s go steady
Let’s go steady, yeah
Let’s go-o-o-o steady
Let’s go steady, yeah

소원을 말했어 (I wish)
넌 거기 있었고 (Right there)
그 날의 너와 날 기적이라 부르자
My favorite thing (Favorite thing)
함께할 계절의
반짝임을 본 기분의 색깔은 뭘까?

Feeling good right now
사랑이 자라나는 걸 봐봐
놓치지 말아
지금 우리는 시작된 거야

넌 아름다워 푸르디푸른 눈빛
그 다정 다정 말투 이대로 변하지 마
뜨거운 바람 속 세포는 너를 느껴 버렸어 (Yeah)
이대로 가면 돼

Day by (오래오래)
Day by (오래오래)
Day, yeah (우리 오래)
이대로만 가자
Day by (오래오래)
Day by (오래오래)

Let’s go steady (Yeah)
Let’s go steady, yeah
Let’s go-o-o-o steady (Uh)
Let’s go steady, yeah

Take it slow, let it grow
I’m talking ’bout that old school love
Let’s go steady
Got me feeling like I’m floating
혼자 훌쩍 떠나거나
내 첫 차를 산다거나
세상 어떤 선물
너를 만난 만큼 설렐까

Feeling good right now
페이지마다 가득 채우자
Hand in hand right now
끝나지 않을 얘기들로만

넌 아름다워 푸르디푸른 눈빛
그 다정 다정 말투 이대로 변하지 마
뜨거운 바람 속 세포는 너를 느껴 버렸어 (Yeah)
이대로 가면 돼

Day by (오래오래)
Day by (오래오래)
Day, yeah (우리 오래)
이대로만 가자
Day by (오래오래)
Day by (오래오래)
Day, yeah (우리 오래)

My favorite thing
What color would the feeling be
Of seeing the sparkle of the seasons we’ll share together?

Feeling good right now
Look at love growing
Don’t miss it
Right now, we’ve just begun

You’re beautiful, with those deep blue eyes
That gentle, gentle way of speaking — don’t ever change
In the hot wind, every cell in me has already felt you, yeah
We can just keep going like this

Got me feeling like I’m floating

Whether it’s suddenly leaving alone on a trip
Or buying my first car
Could any gift in the world
Ever excite me as much as meeting you did?

Feeling good right now
Let’s fill every page completely
Hand in hand right now
With stories that will never end

You’re beautiful, with those deep blue eyes
That gentle, gentle way of speaking — don’t ever change
In the hot wind, every cell in me has already felt you, yeah
We can just keep going like this

For a very, very, very long time
Back to back, side by side, we gon’ have it all
Don’t leave me alone anymore
