따분한 나의 눈빛이
무표정했던 얼굴이
널 보며 빛나고 있어
널 담은 눈동자는 odd
내 안에 빼곡하게 피어나는 blue
내가 지금 느끼는 이 감정들은 true
내 입술을 간지럽힌 낯선 그 이름
난 몰랐어 내 맘이 이리 다채로운지
긴 꿈을 꾸게 해 이 방은 작은 heaven
춤을 추곤 해 실컷 어지러울 만큼
Oh my, oh my God
한 칸 더 채우고 있어
잘 봐 one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
You make me feel like eleven
투명한 너와 나의 사이
가만히 들여다보다
일렁인 물결 속으로
더 빠져드는 걸
그날 향기로운 보랏빛의 mood
셀 수 없이 반복해도 기분 좋은 꿈
감히 누가 이렇게 날 설레게 할 줄
난 몰랐어 내 맘이 이리 다채로운지
긴 꿈을 꾸게 해 이 방은 작은 heaven
춤을 추곤 해 실컷 어지러울 만큼
Oh my, oh my God
한 칸 더 채우고 있어
잘 봐 one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
You make me feel like eleven
내 앞에 있는 너를
그 눈에 비친 나를 (그 눈에 비친 나를)
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah (가만히 바라봐)
내 앞에 있는 너를
그 눈에 비친 나를
가만히 바라봐
Don't say now
서둘러 오진 마
이 순간이 좋아 난
미처 몰랐어 내 맘이 이리 다채로운지 (Woah-ooh-woah-ooh-woah)
긴 꿈을 꾸게 해 이 방은 작은 heaven
춤을 추곤 해 실컷 어지러울 만큼
Oh my, oh my God
한 칸 더 채우고 있어
잘 봐 one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
You make me feel like eleven
내 앞에 있는 너를
그 눈에 비친 나를
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah
내 앞에 있는 너를
그 눈에 비친 나를
사랑하게 됐거든

My boring eyes
The expressionless face
Are shining by looking at you
Eyes full of you, odd
Something that blooms inside of me, blue
These emotions I'm feeling right now are true
The unfamiliar name that tickled my lips
I didn't know my heart was so colorful
It makes me dream a long dream, this room is a small heaven
I dance heartily to the point where I'm dizzy
Oh my, oh my God
Fills in one more space
Watch now one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
You make me feel like eleven
Something transparent, between you and me
Look into it
Into the waves
I'm falling in love even more
That day, the fragrant purple mood
A dream that makes me feel good countless times
I didn't know if anyone could dare to make my heart race
I didn't know my heart was so colorful
It makes me dream a long dream, this room is a small heaven
I dance heartily to the point where I'm dizzy
Oh my, oh my God
Fills in one more space
Watch now one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
You make me feel like eleven
You, the one in front of me
The reflection of me in those eyes (Me reflected in those eyes)
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah (Look at me)
You, the one in front of me
The reflection of me in those eyes
Just looking at it
Don't say now
Don't rush over
I like this moment
I didn't know my heart was so colorful (Woah-ooh-woah-ooh-woah)
It makes me dream a long dream, This room is a small heaven
I dance heartily to the point where I'm dizzy
Oh my, oh my God
Fills in one more space
Watch now one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
You make me feel like eleven
You, the one in front of me
The reflection of me in those eyes
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah
You, the one in front of me
The reflection of me in those eyes
I fell in love
