Tokyo

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 found in sake and ski-jump compilations

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-o-o

So ecstatic that I got distracted

Forgot a family Christmas waited for me

Didn't hit me till I was in the taxi

Now you all get Nikka from Haneda tax-free

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-o-o

Oh I wish I was back in Tokyo

I wish I was back in Tokyo

Tokyo-o-o

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

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-o-o

I wish I was back in Tokyo
