Lyrics & Translation
Every day keeps going
Things aren't always perfect, but still
It's so easy to smile, look ahead
Show me that smile, anytime
Things are getting better now
In front of the mirror, absentmindedly drying my hair
I ask myself, "How's it going?" again this morning
But what I see is only a part of me
My right and left faces are opposite, yeah
Walking on the asphalt crossing the wind, wow
Looking up at the blue sky, taking a deep breath, ah-ha
No GPS signal, no one around
To an unknown island, no no no no no
Almost getting swept away, don't worry
One two three four five six seven eight
If I count only the good things
I believe I’ll find them, surely
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Every day keeps going
Things aren't always perfect, but still
It's so easy to smile, look ahead
Show me that smile, anytime
Things are getting better now
Even that promise I kept putting off
Gets my heart pounding more and more, ah-ha
Because I’ll see you soon, I’m not lonely
The delicious food last, wow wow wow wow wow
Like saving it up, it's alright
One two three four five six seven eight
If I count the things I want to cry about
While counting, I end up laughing
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Tomorrow will continue
Surely, there are good things too
It's so easy to smile, look up
Show me that smile, anytime
Things are getting better now
Smiling and saying, "It’s okay"
If I can say that, honestly, that's enough
One two three four five six seven eight
Try counting only the good things
There might be many! You’re not alone
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Every day keeps going
Things aren't always perfect, but still
It's so easy to smile, look ahead
Show me that smile, anytime
Things are getting better now
