Tokyo
Tokyo Nights: Unveiling Hearts in a Cityscape Symphony
Lyrics
Over me and over you
Expressing a repetitive cycle of emotions or events involving both parties.
I came by to say I'm confused
Acknowledging confusion and seeking clarity in a situation.
about last week when you said
Referencing a previous interaction and the suggestion to go to Tokyo.
Hello, we should go to Tokyo
Recalling a proposition to travel to Tokyo together.
I think about you quite a lot
Admitting frequent thoughts about the person in question.
At least enough to question what is
Questioning the reasons behind persistent thoughts and emotions.
causing me to think so much
Reflecting on the intensity of thoughts and the impact on sleep.
about someone it keeps me up
Expressing the preoccupation with someone keeping the speaker awake.
If you rip open my heart you'd see
Metaphorically describing the vulnerability of the speaker's emotions.
A whole lotta' blood and arteries
Emphasizing the intensity of emotions through a vivid description.
But if I'm talking romantically
Distinguishing between the physical and romantic aspects of the heart.
You'd see space for you
Indicating a special place for the person in the speaker's romantic feelings.
I remember at the pub
Recalling a specific moment at a pub involving the person.
The tea towel hanging at your butt
Describing a casual scene with a humorous touch.
You said I should come by sometime
Referring to an invitation to visit, establishing a connection.
And so I came that very night
Acting upon the invitation and recounting the events of that night.
I read a book I didn't like
Engaging in an unrelated activity during the visit.
I was approached by some old guy he
Encountering a stranger who offers a drink.
Bought me a glass of cheap wine
Describing the type of wine and the generosity of the stranger.
He had a piano on his tie
Adding a quirky detail about the stranger's attire.
If you rip open my heart you'd see
Reiterating the metaphor of the heart, emphasizing its contents.
A whole lotta' blood and arteries
Continuing the vivid description of the heart's contents.
But if I'm talking romantically
Restating the distinction between physical and romantic aspects of the heart.
You'd see space for you
Reaffirming the emotional space reserved for the person.
If you rip open my heart you'd see
Repeating the metaphor with additional elements, emphasizing intensity.
A whole lotta' blood and gunk and arteries
Introducing a humorous element with the term 'gunk' in the heart.
But if I'm talking romantically
Reiterating the romantic aspect of the heart and its openness.
You'd see space for you
Concluding with the continued affirmation of emotional space for the person.
