Ice Queen Lyrics – IVE

[Intro]
(I-I-I’m in the castle)

[Verse 1]
다가오지 못하고 망설여 다들
해치지 않아 난
연습하고 활짝 웃어 보여도
어울리지 않나 봐
사람들은 말해 있잖아 쟤는
서늘해 좀 어딘가
But I don’t care (I don’t)
No, I don’t care (Don’t care at all)

[Pre-Chorus]
그때 날 향해 걸어오는 너
어쭈, 겁 없네?
Who’s that who’s that who’s that boy?
Hold up

[Chorus]
I-I-I’m in the castle
절벽 끝에 높고 뾰족한 집
나의 맘은 dry ice 영하의 온도
얼음처럼 섬뜩 차가운 queen
I-I-I wanna listen
궁금해 넌 무슨 말을 할지
그 새하얀 입김 사이로 어디
한 번 뱉어보겠니
Woo, woo, ah
Woo, woo
감당할 수 있겠니

[Verse 2]
나쁘지는 않아 그 넘치는 패기
생긴 것도 제법 cute (He’s cute)
한여름의 태양 같은 그 눈빛
눈을 뗄 수 없거든
너라면 좀 어떨까 함께해도 좋을까
상상을 좀 해봤어
You and me 모르지

[Pre-Chorus]
그때 날 향해 손을 내민 너
어쭈, 겁 없네?
Who’s that who’s that who’s that boy?
Hold up

[Chorus]
I-I-I’m in the castle
절벽 끝에 높고 뾰족한 집
나의 맘은 dry ice 영하의 온도
얼음처럼 섬뜩 차가운 queen
I-I-I wanna listen
궁금해 넌 무슨 말을 할지
그 새하얀 입김 사이로 어디
한 번 뱉어보겠니

[Bridge]
Oh, 그래 혹시 혹시 만일 만일 너라면
이런 내 마음도 녹일 수 있을지도
까짓 사랑 그따위
한 번 해볼까 어디
Ay, 각오했니 You ready?
Watch it burn, hold up

[Chorus]
I-I-I’m in the castle
절벽 끝에 높고 뾰족한 집
나의 맘은 dry ice 영하의 온도
얼음처럼 섬뜩 차가운 queen
I-I-I wanna listen
궁금해 넌 무슨 말을 할지
그 새하얀 입김 사이로 어디
한 번 뱉어보겠니
Woo, woo, ah
Woo, woo
(I-I-I’m in the castle)
