Lyrics (Original Chinese, Pinyin Romanization, and English Translation):

外头阳光耀眼 (Wàitóu yángguāng yàoyǎn)
Outside the sunshine is shining

相机充饱了电 (Xiàngjī chōngbǎo le diàn)
The camera is fully charged

拒绝咖啡续杯 (Jùjué kāfēi xùbēi)
Rejected the coffee refill

今天适合冒险 (Jīntiān shìhé màoxiǎn)
Today is good for adventure

这次不需要人陪 只凭直觉 (Zhècì bùxūyào rén péi zhǐ píng zhíjué)
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 (Biéhuítóu wúsuǒwèi)
Don’t turn back, don’t care too much

Cuz I’m running away

单程票一路到明天 (Dānchéngpiào yílù dào míngtiān)
A one-way ticket all the way to tomorrow

厌倦一成不变 (Yànjuàn yìchéngbúbiàn)
Tired of nothing ever changing

我想做个试验 (Wǒxiǎng zuògè shìyàn)
I want to do an experiment

出发不设终点 (Chūfā búshè zhōngdiǎn)
To set off without a destination

我会走到哪边 (Wǒhuì zǒudào nǎbiān)
Where will I find myself?

这次 不需要排练 不说后悔 (Zhècì bùxūyào páiliàn bùshuō hòuhuǐ)
This time, no rehearsal is needed, and no regrets

CHORUS

不依赖 勇敢推翻 (Bùyīlài yǒnggǎn tuīfān)
Don’t be dependent, must bravely overthrow

昨日此刻 我的存在 (Zuórì cǐkè wǒde cúnzài)
my existence of yesterday this moment

我可以 享受孤单 (Wǒkěyǐ xiǎngshòu gūdān)
I can enjoy loneliness

因为离开所以期待 (Yīnwèi líkāi suǒyǐ qīdài)
Because by leaving, I can look forward to [something new]

这次 不需要人陪 只凭直觉 (Zhècì bùxūyào rén péi zhǐpíng zhíjué)
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 (Biéhuítóu wúsuǒwèi)
Don’t turn back, don’t care too much

Cuz I’m running away

单程票带我走 (Dānchéngpiào dàiwǒzǒu)
One-way ticket, take me away

CHORUS
