«Suno»🎶 Something like "Dad might go to Taiwan"🎵

It seems like the grad student dad
went on a short-term study abroad program👀
Maybe he can make a few songs out of it(* ´艸｀)

Hey, listen for a second
It's not set in stone yet
But somehow, little by little
It's really starting to become a conversation

Apparently, I have to choose for my credits
An English class or a short-term study abroad
Going overseas was something
I thought had nothing to do with me

But if I don't go now
I feel like I'll probably
End up never going at all
The duration is short
And there seems to be a subsidy
Before I knew it, I was already looking it up

What about work?
What about things at home?
Once I start thinking, there's no end to it
Even so, deep in my chest
Something started to stir
Maybe there's a chance

Dad might go to Taiwan
It still feels strange even saying it myself
I'm going to see a sky I don't know
Dad might go to Taiwan
With half anxiety and half hope
Packed into the bottom of my bag
I realized it's now or never

In the living room at night, I brought it up
Saying, "I might go on a short-term study abroad"
My wife smiled a little
And lightly poked at a sore spot

That kind of thing
Has always been something
I can never beat her at
Not making a big deal out of it
And not making me feel pressured
That simply strong response of hers

When I told her it would be about two weeks
She was silent for a moment, then
"Well, it might not be that
different from usual"
It's like it hurts
And yet it's like it saves me
That's the distance between us

Dad might go to Taiwan
Our conversations are just like this
But I'm definitely being pushed forward
Dad might go to Taiwan
Kindness, I think, isn't about being loud
She says it with her usual face
Just go, she says

I tried telling the kids too
What came back was "That's not fair"
"Is it by plane?"
"Will there be souvenirs?"
They care more about that than the study abroad

My eldest daughter looked at me a little
And said as usual, "Well, good luck"
That feeling of nothing special
Made me somehow a little happy

Dad might go to Taiwan
My family is the same as always today
That's why I can move forward
Dad might go to Taiwan
Sent off with a smile
A little lonely, a little light
Walking toward a morning I haven't seen yet

Dad might go to Taiwan
As a father, a husband, and a grad student
Living out the rest of a mostly true story
Dad might go to Taiwan

But hey, just one thing
I realized it just now
In Taiwan
Isn't it more than just English?

Well...
That's something I'll
Figure out somehow
Probably, to be continued
