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
