Tokyo Lyrics by ​dePresno

Places

2021

[Verse 1]
This might not be the worst day of my life
But I'm pretty sure it won't be the best
I swear I got the best kind of rest
When I didn't even sleep in a bed
On the floor of a Shibuya apartment
What a funny way to make new friends
And whatever we lost in translation
We saké and ski jump compilations

[Chorus]
I wish I was back in Tokyo, where the dark was interrupted by neon
And loneliness felt like freedom
And no one understood my Norwegian
I wish I was back in Tokyo
I wish I was back in Tokyo, Tokyo

[Verse 2]
So ecstatic that I got distracted
Forgot a family Christmas waited for me
Didn't hit mе 'til I was in the taxi
Now you all get Nikka from Haneda, tax-free

[Chorus]
I wish I was back in Tokyo, whеre the dark was interrupted by neon
And loneliness felt like freedom
And no one understood my Norwegian
I wish I was back in Tokyo
I wish I was back in Tokyo, Tokyo

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was back in Tokyo
I wish I was back in Tokyo, Tokyo

[Bridge]
Where I couldn't even ask for directions
But then I found that I didn't need them
Good thing no one understood my Norwegian

[Chorus]
I wish I was back in Tokyo, where the dark was interrupted by neon
And loneliness felt like freedom
And no one understood my Norwegian
Oh, I wish I was back in Tokyo
I wish I was back in Tokyo, Tokyo

[Outro]
