Ate the best noodles of my life
Never thought I’d like those big, fat noodles
But Hana showed me the way
And that made it okay
Ha / Ka / Ta
Committed to make this the best vacation
I don’t know if I succeeded
But I’ll keep trying to be
As flexible and open as can be
Ha / Ka / Ta

Tenjin~ is the place to go
I saw so many lights over there
just like Christmas time
Tenjin~ you’re great for shopping
but I couldn’t keep my eyes up
not even for Muji cafe
Tenjin~ it was a great night
I couldn’t help but be polite
no matter how I felt
Tenjin~ even tho it hurt
I only have good memories
and that warms my heart

Oh Oita
We accidentally went way too far
Knew we’d make it in the end
And I think it helped us mend
Ohlala
Separated in the bus from afar
The station had what we wanted
We got our croissant
At Il Forno del Mignon
Well
Oita, we didn’t mean to go there
But we liked it, it was a great detour
A refreshing surprise for tourists like us
Oh my god
Couldn’t imagine how tired I could be
Didn’t listen to a song
Didn’t even read a book

Mountain vista in the background
Take a pic but Ethan’s really grumpy
Tour the shops and buy a souvenir
That’s the way it is in Yufuin NOW
I’m sorry for making a fuss
I’ve no excuse, can’t even blame the bus
I shouldn’t expect a next time
But here’s to then, when we’ll be divine

Dazaifu~ I’m not gonna sing a song to say I love you
We took a bus~ pretty early and I didn’t make a fuss
It was the last day of 2018, we just keep on fighting
but ooooohhh-oh Next year we’ll be better, we’re getting better and better
I’ve got a chip on my shoulder
I’m feeling older and older
But I’m not getting any booooooolder
Never want to be a bother
I’m always thinking of something to say
Making new melodies day by day
None of them are good but I’ll put them to song
Every time I take a trip, I’ve gotta sing about it

If you need a shirt, go to St. James
It’s pretty cold, let’s find Danton
UNIQLO is cheap as dirt
Muji's got the shoes that won’t hurt
You were pretty flexible
I was amazed
You found what you wanted in seconds
I won’t take it for granted again
There’s no better shopping buddy than you
Marinoa City, the ocean view
made a nice background, and time flew
it’s true that good times are what we make (what we make)
Whatever you want (you can have it)
Whatever you need (let’s get it)

Fukuoka Tower

Hope’s a thing you give up fast
When there’s no bus and there’s no map
The light was gone and night was here
I thought there was everything to fear
Why do I tend to get so grumpy
And ruin everything I touch
I’ve felt so anxious, I think I’m leaning too much on my crutch
Was Fukuoka Tower worth it
I’m not all too impressed with it
There’s nothing I can do about it
Nothing now that I can fix
But what about the view?
I just like being with you
It doesn’t matter where we are
You’re my guiding star
Fukuoka Tower was the best place to go
I don’t regret a thing, I wanna let you know
If we did it again, I’d make it so
Fukuoka Tower, show us your sites
Show us the view of the night
Fukuoka Tower, it’s okay
t’es pas loin de la Corée

Sayonara! See u again! x2
Loving you amounts to a sin
So you could say that I won’t see you in heaven
If the good place is real, there’s no way it could be the better place to go
Sayonara! See u again!
This little trip was strange
Was it great or was it plain?
Maybe it was the same, who am I really to say?
Sayonara! See u again!
We spent a lot of time on the bus
But I’ve got to be honest
I was pretty content this time, we really make a good team
Sayonara! See u again!
Fukuoka, Japan, it was a cool plan
Ethan did his best
Mostly at Hana’s behest, oh I really must confess
Sayonara! See u again!
