Daily Special

Lyrics & Composition: Yuujin Kitagawa

My favorite diner is always
packed with office workers
at lunch time
That familiar scene's nowhere to be seen
I get lost at the train station exit
Completely left behind - just two of a kind

Year by year, I'm finding socializing to be tiresome
but still, being all alone is so lonely

As I eat the daily special
I've started getting used to life without you
I wonder how you are. I can't see you anymore
The way we broke up made sure of that

Now an antique and positioned awfully high
on that TV of mine the commentators are debating
I can't believe they have the nerve to say that much
about someone they barely even know
That said, I'm subtly listening attentively

I look into my smartphone and see an invite to a drinking party
I made up a plausible excuse and turned it down

"The meat tofu here is perfection"
You said and always ordered the same thing
I wonder how you used to smile
Little by little, I'm forgetting

As I eat the daily special
I've started getting used to life without you
I wonder how you are. I can't see you anymore
The way we broke up made sure of that
Shall I head home? Tomorrow I wonder
what the daily special will be

Higawari Teishoku

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Kitagawa Yuujin

Najimi no shokudou wa itsumo
Ohirudoki tomo nareba
Sarariiman ya OLsan de gottagaesu
Shitashinda keshiki wa doko e yara
Eki no deguchi de maigo ni
Sukkari torinokosareta nitamono doushi

Nennen hitozukiai ga okkuu ni natte
Towaie hitorikkiri mo sabishii ya

Higawari teishoku tabenagara
Kimi no inai kurashi nimo narete kita
Doushiteru kana mou aenai
Wakarekata shichatta na

Yake ni takai ichi ni aru ima dewa nendaimono no
Terebi no naka de komenteetaa wa giron shite iru
Taishite shiranai hito no koto
Yoku mo maa soko made ieru na
Towaie sore to naku kikimimi tateteru

Sumaho wo nozokikomu to nomikai no sasoi
Sore rashii riyuu wo tsukete kotowatta

"Koko no nikudoufu wa zeppin" tte
Kimi wa itsumo onnaji chuumon bakkari
Donna fuu ni waratte ita kana
Sukoshizutsu wasureteku

Higawari teishoku tabenagara
Kimi no inai kurashi nimo narete kita
Doushiteru kana mou aenai
Wakarekata shichatta na
Kaerou ka ashita wa donna
Higawari teishoku darou
