[English]

The closest beach

My own theater

It’s okay to do whatever I feel like

Ringing Every morning

Beep beep beep beep sound

Lingering in my ears

I wake up without any wakeup call that used to rush me

A bite of Cheese cake

A full glass of

Brewed coffee

I’ll have it iced, very relaxedly

Suddenly I look at the clock

It’s already 12 o’clock

But there isn't any rush

Then I yawn

And give myself a big stretch

And think what should I do today

The moment when my eyes reached the season beyond the window

The pouring sunlight knocks on my heart

Riding on the fresh breeze waving at me

Wanna leave When the weekend comes

I can do whatever I want

The scattered cloud in the wind

More freely we can go

The closest beach

My own theater

It’s okay to do whatever I feel like

I’ll go on a drive

It’s okay to just walk around

I’ll just leave to wherever my feet end up oh

For one day ignoring the world's stories

I’ll put my day together

No more no no stress I won't worry about it anymore

Move it right left right whatever I feel like

Whatever there is on the way I’ve never been

I don’t need a map when I roll the streets

The reason I keep going is for a little fun

Continue up up up going higher

The wild unknown small flower

Growing along the corner of the street

After looking at them for a while, to avoid the hot sunlight

I sit on the bench for a moment

Steps are getting slower catching up to the speed of the shadow

Keeping pace with the sun walking along with me

I want to return by following the next moonlight

Wanna leave When the weekend comes

I can do whatever I want

The scattered cloud in the wind

More freely we can go

The perfect plan beacause there isn't any plans

The secret place I accidentally discovered

I leave my small bags there

Around the end of the alley I’ll meet

The pleasant surprise and excitement

My heart is pounding all day

A coffee shop with nutty aroma

Pretty clothes catching my eyes

Do it for the weekend,

Do it for the weekend

I don’t want to hesitate doing what I like anymore

It’s okay to do it When the weekend comes

I can do whatever I want

The scattered cloud in the wind

More freely we can go

The closest beach

My own theater

It’s okay to do whatever I feel like

I’ll go on a drive

It’s okay to just walk around

I’ll just leave to wherever my feet end up oh
