[Verse 1]
I woke up at 4:30 this morning.
It was pitch black outside.
I turned on the light,
Put water in a kettle and put it on the fire.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I turned on the air conditioner and set it to automatic.
I plugged in my iPhone.
[Chorus 1]
My morning routine.
Everything was the same as always,
Nothing had changed,
A monotonous life.
[Verse 2]
I logged in with fingerprint authentication.
I used internet sharing via tethering.
My emails have been updated.
Most of them were messages from mailing lists.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I threw them all in the trash.
The long-awaited reply never came.
[Chorus 2]
My morning routine.
Everything was the same as always,
Nothing had changed,
A monotonous life.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
The water boiled, so I made coffee,
And poured the remaining water into a thermos.
I turned on the radio and tuned it to the FM frequency.
The usual lovely voice of the radio personality.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Should I read Mori Hiroshi’s “The Silent World of Dr. Kijima,” or prepare breakfast?
[Chorus 3]
My morning routine.
Everything was the same as always,
Nothing had changed,
A monotonous life.
[Bridge]
I decided to have coffee for now.
“It’s still pitch black,” she complained as she got up.
“Let’s have some coffee. It’ll wake you up,” I asked with a smile.
[Final Chorus 3]
My morning routine.
Everything was the same as always,
Nothing had changed,
A monotonous life.
[Instrumental Solo]
