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
