Potential

How to slack off, how to be spoiled,
how to run away, how to make excuses,
I just finally learned it all, it's imprinted on my head.
This is some flexible mind.
 
How to look cool, how to be cocky,
how to chill out, how to age well,
now I'm nailing it all, but my eyes are dead.
This is some sloppy body.
 
How to be hated, how to be idolized,
how to tell off others, how to elegantly explain myself.
There is so much we still wanna learn.
 
We've got nothing but potential!
We've got nothing but potential!
We've got nothing but potential!
We've got nothing but potential!
We've still got nothing but potential!
 
In the city I used to demonize,
I turn into the adult I used to demonize.
If I question my ever-changing self inside the mirror,
the answer is always yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
I won't run after the past, I'll retreat when necessary,
I'll wrap up smoothly, I'll dodge and weave.
And to you who's laughing through the mirror,
I say I didn't sum people up to a single word!
 
Recently my stride's getting heavy,
still I'll be swaggering around on my pace.
I'll do it when I do it!
I'll lose when I lose!
I'll go with this carless plan!
 
I think I finally figured it out,
how to steer this piece of junk.
Compared to my anxiety of when I was 19,
I feel so much more refreshed!
 
I'll cross the victory bridge1,
hanging over Sumida river.
On my left hand, Sky Tree,
on my right hand, Tokyo Tower,
and I'm in the very middle!
 
How to slack off, how to be spoiled,
how to run away, how to make excuses,
I just finally learned it all, it's imprinted on my head.
This is some flexible mind.
 
How to look cool, how to be cocky,
how to chill out, how to age well,
now I'm nailing it all, but my eyes are dead.
This is some sloppy body.
 
The feeling of happiness only gets faster.
The healing of my wounds only gets slower.
The ability of not expecting of others, it's my forte today.
Even if I'm hurt, I'll use every trick in the book to keep going.
 
The more you know your own place,
the more you can be proud, like always.
But at times, you must go beyond.
Until the age you can be immature again.
 
It's just numbers in a small frame!
So don't be afraid, but be prepared for the worst.
The more my past me stood still,
the bigger got the wall to climb.
 
I'll cross the victory bridge1,
hanging over Sumida river.
The overlapping Sky Tree,
Tokyo Tower, and the very middle of my unreliable back.
 
How to slack off, how to be spoiled,
how to run away, how to make excuses,
I just finally learned it all, it's imprinted on my head.
This is some flexible mind.
 
How to look cool, how to be cocky,
how to chill out, how to age well,
now I'm nailing it all, but my eyes are dead.
This is some sloppy body.
 
How to be hated, how to be idolized,
how to tell off others, how to elegantly explain myself.
There is so much we still wanna learn.
 
We've got nothing but potential!
We've got nothing but potential!
We've got nothing but potential!
We've got nothing but potential!
We've still got nothing but potential!
