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 saké and ski jump compilations I wish I was back in Tokyo Where the darkness 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 So ecstatic that I got distracted Forgot a family Christmas waiting for me Didn't hit me 'til I was in the taxi Now you all getting Nikka from Haneda, tax-free I wish I was back in Tokyo Where the darkness 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 Oh, I wish I was back in Tokyo I wish I was back in Tokyo, Tokyo 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 darkness 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 Wish I was back in Tokyo
