The Time in Tokyo
Timeless Longings: Unspoken Hopes in Tokyo Nights
Lyrics
Every evening I drive by
Reflecting on passing the place from past Friday nights
The place we'd go on a Friday night
Recalling the venue for Friday taco and white wine outings
To have tacos and white wine
Memories of shared moments over tacos and white wine
But I haven't been inside for a while
Admitting absence from the familiar place recently
Are you still with your new guy?
Inquiring about the current relationship status
I don't even know what he looks like
Expressing lack of knowledge about the new partner
But does he look at you like, I used to
Wondering if the new partner treats you as he used to
So what's the time in Tokyo
Pivoting to a broader question about the time in Tokyo
What's the closest thing that I can know
Seeking the closest connection to your current life
I wonder if the sun shines on you so
Contemplating if the sun shines on you in Tokyo
Siri I'd really like to know
Expressing a desire for knowledge, reaching out to Siri
What's the time in Tokyo
Reiterating the question about the time in Tokyo
Today you caught my attention
Noticing your presence, unexpected attention
When I was least expecting
Highlighting the surprise of catching attention
See I was only pretending to care what was in the pictures
Admitting pretense in pretending not to care
And then out of the blue came
The sudden appearance of your online presence
The letters of your username
Recognition of your username in digital space
All of sudden my view changed
Shift in perspective triggered by the discovery
And my thought it touched on you
Thoughts and focus directed towards you
So what's the the time in Tokyo
Repeating the query about the time in Tokyo
What's the closest thing that I can know
Desire to be close to your current experiences
To any thing that's going on for you
Expressing curiosity about your current situation
And so I'd really like to know
Reiterating the wish to know the time in Tokyo
What's the time in Tokyo
Restating the question about the time in Tokyo
I don't know when your heading home
Uncertainty about your whereabouts and plans
Or if you even live here anymore
Questioning if you still reside in the same place
Still I wish you well wherever you go
Wishing you well, acknowledging the separation
While I sit alone and ask my phone
Lamenting solitude while seeking information
What's the time in Tokyo
Repeating the question, seeking connection
What's the the time in Tokyo
Reiterating the query about the time in Tokyo
What's the closest thing that I can know
Desire for the closest knowledge of your current state
I wonder if the moon shines on you so
Contemplating if the moon shines on you in Tokyo
Siri I'd really like to know
Reaching out to Siri, expressing the need to know
What's the time in Tokyo
Reiterating the question about the time in Tokyo
What's the time in Tokyo
Repeating the query about the time in Tokyo
I miss you ever so
Expressing longing and nostalgia
