[English]

NaNaNaNaNaNa

Something is off

NaNaNaNaNaNa

Yeah this is it, Let’s go

NaNaNaNaNaNa

I want to be like him, I’m jealous Yes I’m, jealous Yes I’m

If I was even half of half as him I’d be happy

It’s funny, funny that I’m

Comparing myself with someone, it’s funny

Don’t do that, don’t do that

Such comparison is meaningless

Don’t do that, Stop it now

You just have to go on your own way

Though I don’t want to admit it

I just naturally see others around me

Going ahead doesn’t mean you’re going to get there first, Baby

Look at it from afar, Take your time

There’s no need to rush, My Pace

Don’t compare yourself with others

It’s okay to run slower

Just follow my lane, My lane

Take it easy

Just look ahead and run

You ready, Let’s go

NaNaNaNaNaNa

Just stay in my lane

NaNaNaNaNaNa

But then again

I look at others and then I look at myself

They seem to be better than me by at least a thing

Why’s that why’s that

I keep going back at it without knowing

I have to keep choosing though I don’t know, this or that

Should I try it am I falling behind, the anxiety is killing me

Look at them, look at them

I’m different from them, them

Though I say that but I have my desire full in my empty glass

Though I don’t want to admit it

I just naturally see others around me

Going ahead doesn’t mean you’re going to get there first, Baby

Look at it from afar, Take your time

There’s no need to rush, My Pace

Don’t compare yourself with others

It’s okay to run slower

Just follow my lane, My lane

Take it easy

Just look ahead and run

I don't know where my destination is yet

I don't know

I don’t know how I’d look like at the finish line, I want to know

I want to know

But for now I run on the road ahead of me

I’ll decide on the next fork

Until then, I’m not looking at others

Don’t forget My speed, My lane, My pace

There’s no need to rush, My Pace

Don’t compare yourself with others

It’s okay to run slower

Just follow my lane, My lane

Take it easy

Just run and look ahead

You ready, Let’s go

NaNaNaNaNaNa

Just stay in my lane

NaNaNaNaNaNa
