[Intro]

もしもし？え？

あ、ごめん、今ちょっと忙しいんだ

うん…

[Verse 1]

None of my friends have time to hang out anymore

They're all adults, always engulfed

Everybody's chasing their dreams or results

Yet, I can't help but wonder when it ended

See, way back then, they'd all attend

Now I wish that we could meet up again

But whenever I ask them

[Chorus]

They're always so occupied

Forever worried they might fall behind

Everyone's so occupied, all the time (また今度にしよう)

They're always so occupied

I haven't seen them in the longest while

Everyone's so occupied, all the time (じゃ)

[Verse 2]

At my job my boss is a jerk

I'm always overworked

Feeling treated like I'm dirt

Try my best at staying strong

I gotta put my mask back on

Else tomorrow I'll be gone

I guess that's why I'm

[Chorus]

Keeping myself occupied

If I don't work I'm gonna lose my life

Keeping myself occupied, all the time (がんばってね)

Keeping myself occupied

Paying my mortgage while I fry inside

Keeping myself occupied, all the time

[Bridge]

Please, someone, could you teach me how to hope?

I don't know how much longer I can cope

Mentally, I'm going down another slope

Even through all of my jokes

I'm still broke

I guess I'll be forever

[Chorus]

Keeping myself occupied

Try to ignore this pain I feel inside

Keeping myself occupied, all the time (大丈夫だよね)

Keeping myself occupied

But I just can't push all of it aside

Keeping myself occupied, all the time (そうだよ)

[Post-Chorus]

Keeping myself occupied

Until my tears stop flowing and have dried

Keeping myself occupied, all the time (泣かないで)

Keeping myself occupied

'Cause I just can't wipe all of them tonight

Keeping myself occupied, all the time
