[English]

It's all good, man

It's all good, man

It's all good, man

Let's work this out

Finally, the weekend we've been waiting for

Today, I’m gonna do what I wanna do

But the forecast says it’s gonna rain

(It's always raining when I try to relax)

Joy fades away quickly

My plans got shattered

And then I got a fever that knocked me out

Oh my~ Oh my~

Nothing’s going my way

Still, my life goes on

In those times, I check in with my friends

Tomorrow’s gonna be a better day

Never mind! Don’t sweat the small stuff

Laugh it off with a big chuckle

Thanks to my friends, I stay positive

Everything is

All right!

No matter the time, it'll be okay

With you, everything’s great

Loving life with my friends all around

Everything is

All right!

Never mind about...

What just happened

Never mind about...

Oh~ Alright!

My alarm is ringing

Or maybe it’s just a dream

Before I know it, it’s past noon...

(Got this feeling, but I can't quite figure it out)

Somehow I grab my phone

And see a bunch of missed calls

Could today be... oh my god

Trouble trouble

Some days are like this, no problem

It’s not the end of the world

In those times, I check in with my friends

We all make mistakes!!

Never mind! Don’t worry about details

Laugh it off with a big laugh

Thanks to my friends, I stay positive

Everything is

All right!

Anytime, it’ll be okay

With you, everything’s great

Loving life with my friends around me

Everything is

All right!

Never mind about...

What just happened

Never mind about...

Oh~ Alright!

Boys and girls, all my friends

Always grateful for their help

My lovable buddies forever

Let’s go, never alone with my crew

Sharing joys and struggles, you know what I mean

I’ve got your back, right?

Don’t worry now

It’s all good, man

It’s alright!

Never mind! Don’t sweat the small stuff

Laugh it off with a big laugh

Thanks to my friends, I stay positive

Everything is

All right!

Any time, it’ll be okay

With you, everything’s great

Loving life surrounded by friends

Everything is

All right!

[Japanese]

待ちに待った週末

今日こそは do what I want to do

のはずが雨の予報です

（It's raining all the time when I get to chill around）

喜びもつかの間
