Lyrics (Original Chinese, Pinyin Romanization, and English Translation):
外头阳光耀眼
wài tóu yáng guāng yào yǎn
Outside the sunshine is shining
相机充饱了电
xiàng jī chōng bǎo le diàn
The camera is fully charged
拒绝咖啡续杯
jù jué kā fēi xù bēi
Rejected the coffee refill
今天适合冒险
jīn tiān shì hé mào xiǎn
Today is good for adventure
这次不需要人陪 只凭直觉
zhè cì bù xū yào rén péi zhǐ píng zhí jué
This time I don’t need company; I will rely on intuition only
CHORUS:
Cuz I’m running away
别回头无所谓
bié huí tóu wú suǒ wèi
Don’t turn back, don’t care too much
Cuz I’m running away
单程票一路到明天
dān chéng piào yí lù dào míng tiān
A one-way ticket all the way to tomorrow
厌倦一成不变
yàn juàn yì chéng bú biàn
Tired of nothing ever changing
我想做个试验
wǒ xiǎng zuò gè shì yàn
I want to do an experiment
出发不设终点
chū fā bú shè zhōng diǎn
To set off without a destination
我会走到哪边
wǒ huì zǒu dào nǎ biān
Where will I find myself?
这次 不需要排练 不说后悔
zhè cì bù xū yào pái liàn bù shuō hòu huǐ
This time, no rehearsal is needed, and no regrets
CHORUS
不依赖 勇敢推翻
bù yī lài yǒng gǎn tuī fān
Don’t be dependent, must bravely overthrow
昨日此刻 我的存在
zuó rì cǐ kè wǒ de cún zài
my existence of yesterday this moment
我可以 享受孤单
wǒ kě yǐ xiǎng shòu gū dān
I can enjoy loneliness
因为离开所以期待
yīn wèi lí kāi suǒ yǐ qī dài
Because by leaving, I can look forward to [something new]
这次 不需要人陪 只凭直觉
zhè cì bù xū yào rén péi zhǐ píng zhí jué
This time, I don’t need company; I will rely on my intuition only
Cuz I’m running away
别回头无所谓
bié huí tóu wú suǒ wèi
Don’t turn back, don’t care too much
Cuz I’m running away
单程票带我走
dān chéng piào dài wǒ zǒu
One-way ticket, take me away
CHORUS
