明日は明日の風が吹く
お天気だから
どこか行きたくなっちゃう
各駅に揺られて
このままで
約束なんて
みんなあとでいいでしょ
なんだか

海なんか見てみたい気分
シアワセだとか
人生だとか
考えすぎてるかもね
"がんばらなくちゃイケナイ"
そんなこと
誰も決めちゃいないんだし
サイフの中は
今日もカラッポだけど
ときどきは道草いいかもね
ためらわない
こだわらない
ココロの日曜日だね
向かいの席の
ちょっとくたびれた人
いまごろ
会社に行くのかな?
時計を見てはひとつため息ついて
それならさ休みにしちゃえばいいのに
泣きたいことも
悩んだことも
なんとかなるもんだね
昨日も今日も100年先だって
明日は明日の風が吹くよ
ためらわない

こだわらない
ココロの日曜日だね

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 内田有紀's song 明日は明日の風が吹く depict a sense of wanderlust and a desire to escape the routine of everyday life. The song begins by stating that tomorrow will bring a new day and a new breeze, creating a feeling of optimism and excitement for what is to come. The good weather inspires a longing to go somewhere, and the singer imagines taking a train to an unknown destination.

Despite having made plans with others, the singer suggests that maybe those plans can wait, and instead, she follows her whims and desires, feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed by the big questions of happiness and the meaning of life. She realizes that the pressure to "ganbaru" or try hard, may not be necessary as no one has made that decision for her. The singer reflects on the fact that her wallet is empty, yet sometimes it's good to take a moment to pause and reflect, to not be in a rush to somewhere.

Throughout the song, there is an acceptance of the uncertainties of life, of the fact that sometimes it's okay to not have everything figured out, and to just enjoy the journey. The singer observes those around her, imagining the life of a tired-looking person across from her on the train, and realizes that everyone has their own struggles and challenges. However, despite this, there is a sense that things work out eventually, as the breeze continues to blow and time marches on.
