Start Line

Already like I've thrown away a day
Shoulders are blurry
Even after a few days, you must have felt it, the empty feeling
Honestly, knowing it's over now, I can't smile
I know it's greed, but my heart wants to go back
Already missing it, falling asleep during class
The teacher who scolded me, I used to hate back then, but now I miss them when I turn back
Remembering everything one by one, the quick glances and paper notes
Eating snacks secretly, tried hard not to get caught
Every morning, I hated waking up like this, in a war with the morning alarm
If I go out half-awake, a friend in the same situation would put their arm around me
Joking, hitting, snatching, fighting, arguing
When I got hurt, nurturing affection as the wound healed, back then
Congratulations, it was nice
In all those congratulations, I might cry missing you
In my dream, the first step and the congratulatory song
I'll smile widely thinking of you

Yeah smile
We've come this far after losing a day
We won't get tired, we'll keep going
Aye runner's high
You know graduation
Even if it ends, it's not the end
A new beginning, let's go
Yeah we're ready at the start line

I like to start off this speech
With a thank you to everyone that helped little Chris to grow up
I'm really glad to have you guys by my side
Teaching me the ways that I should follow by 20 years
I'll never forget you
Started from playing with blocks that was stored in a box
Filled with legos and toy cars, we all have enough
But little Chris always waited till Santa would come
Hoping to get a present that would fill up his heart

But I guess my parents beat him to it
'Cause they gave me music
A gateway to show the world my opinion
One of the greatest gifts I've ever received in my life
It's time I graduate, illuminate the world with my light
Oh man, but sometimes I say to myself
Is graduation a finish line or another gunshot?
That goes off to mark the start of a new journey
Should I be excited? 'Cause it sounds a little scary

Another challenge to prove my existence
I'ma break all my limits, it's my ultra instinct
What's to come?
I'ma feline, feeling so curious
But at the brink of death, I go super Saiyan
Yeah

Before I go let me set things clear
My name ain't Byungchan
Never was, never will
And so, as the captain that I am right now
I'ma take my team across the grand line
We ain't going down

We've come this far after losing a day
We won't get tired, we'll keep going
Aye runner's high
You know graduation
Even if it ends, it's not the end
A new beginning, let's go
Yeah we're ready at the start line

Starting from the first textbook, rather than bad memories
There are many good memories
Unlike the end of the six-year journey
Starting from the first school uniform
Whether it was bad or good, I don't know
There were days when I was crouched in a corner
My steps wandered to find the right path
After three years of wandering, the tired Danli walks on the music
Time passes so quickly
Three years have already passed, more excited than regretful, Danyang, I'm back
Now it's the end of listening, not confusion, I'm not ready yet
My heart is heavier in front of the heavier sense of responsibility
Last year, I feel like I made a lot of rewarding results
The mixtape and countless practices became a lot of experience for me
Preparing for a new start to see further
Finishing what's in front of me while keeping an eye on the surroundings
The end I used to look at was just a horizon
Approaching with a full heart, I haven't reached the end

We've come this far after losing a day
We won't get tired, we'll keep going
Aye runner's high
You know graduation
Even if it ends, it's not the end
A new beginning, let's go
Yeah we're ready at the start line
