Tokyo City Rain
I packed my bags
and left for Tokyo
I'd been everywhere
but had no place to go
Flew back in time,
departure LA
everything was humming
in the city rain
The weight of the world
is not yours to hold
Your shoulders are heavy
and don't I know
Lost in translation
on familiar ground
Now I've got this feeling
to be around
to be around
When I returned
it felt like a dream
tracing tall buildings
in the summer steam
Drift off to sleep
I stop at the shrine
throw coins in the box
leave some words behind
The weight of the world
is not yours to hold
Your shoulders are heavy
and don't I know
Lost in translation
on familiar ground
Now I've got this feeling
to be around
to be around
What are you chasing,
a dark star falling?
the white whale is gone
and in the evening,
does silence feel scary
when love feels all wrong?
