[Verse]
At the office crossing, lights are blinking red
"Hurry up" is echoing inside my head
But even if I run to beat the light
The day is ending, fading into night
Reflected in the window of the train
I meet my tired eyes through the pane
Left school, grew up, put on a suit and tie
But the child inside remains, I can't deny

[Pre-Chorus]
Killing my pride, facing the absurd
Learning to fake a smile, without a word
Swallowing the voice that is true and real
Getting good at hiding how I feel
In the palm of my hand, scrolling the screen
Watching someone's highlight, a happy scene
But I don't need to panic, don't need to race
Tell myself "It's okay," find my own pace

[Chorus]
I’m just a traveler on a long, long road
Trying to be someone, bearing the load
But I don't have to blame myself, I know!
If the rain falls, I'll go soaking wet
When the sun comes out, I'll dry, I bet
Just start walking, step by step
The answer—well, that can wait!

[Verse 2]
Can't decide if it's black or if it's white
It's not a simple world, not clear and bright
Told to "Chase your dreams," then "Wake up, son"
Contradictions weigh a ton
The bag is full of things I chose to leave
Heavier than the things that I achieve
Holding it tight, come what may
I am living through this very day!

[Bridge]
So what if I forget my lines?!
So what if I stand in the wrong spot?!
Just take it from where I messed up!
And start a brand new ad-lib!

[Final Chorus]
I’m just a traveler on a long, long road
Trying to be someone, bearing the load
But I don't have to blame myself, I know!
Even on the days that go all wrong
Laugh it off, "My bad," just say
Tomorrow will be on my side, anyway

[Outro]
On a perfectly paved and clean street
No footprints left by my two feet
The answer isn't ready yet.
