swetty, Elle Teresa – I JUST / THE FIRST TAKE
Does my hair look weird？ Not at all Does it look OK? Yes I don’t care right now ‘bout what anyone says Anxieties and negativities I don’t need anymore I know that I’m me, but Sometimes I feel like I don’t know where I am Oh yeah, I just want to be me Yeah, I just want to be me Yeah, I just want to be me Oh yeah, yeah, I just want to be me A messy table and an empty heart What can I do today to tell myself I did good Everybody focuses on the negative, but it can’t be helped I just wanna brush it off Again it’s started -I’m always scared like that Didn’t wanna hear it so I plugged my ears Singing la, la, la
The mist’s cleared a little I get really sick of just how filthy and vulnerable I am, just so Sick of it I wrestle with it again My bad day continues, it’s stupid I shouted at Makuhari, wanting to show myself what I’m made of Now that you’re in the same position as me I don’t care right now ‘bout what anyone says Anxieties and negativities I don’t need anymore I know that I’m me, but Sometimes I feel like I don’t know where I am Yeah, I just want to be me Yeah, I just want to be me Yeah, I just want to be me Oh yeah, yeah, I just want to be me On my way home, the sky’s crying Sakura-colored tint, I take on your colors No matter how many times I fail, I hope you’ll stay by my side Remember how we used to go to Isomaru for the 2 hours until the first train left? I tend to dwell on my worries rather than focusing on the how I’m having fun now My hometown’s so gentle, just like soft-to-the-touch cotton If we win 2nd place on the Scratch Chance lottery tickets, we’ll split it evenly Don’t have your number, but we’ll meet here next year At the Makuhari Messe, I applied my Jirai-style eyeliner My false eyelashes are holding on nicely, gotta gargle when I get home Hey, we can still make it – 5 minutes ‘til the last train leaves I guess the life I dreamed of is coming true, one wish at a time I don’t care right now ‘bout what anyone says Anxieties and negativities I don’t need anymore I know that I’m me, but Sometimes I feel like I don’t know where I am Oh yeah, I just want to be me Yeah, I just want to be me Yeah, I just want to be me Oh yeah, yeah, I just want to be me
