Tokyo In July

Lyrics: Red lights blur through the rain tonight Your shadow dancing in the passenger side Summer air and a vending machine glow Felt like forever in a city I don’t know Midnight train humming under our feet Cheap headphones sharing one heartbeat You laughed when the crosswalk started singing Neon stars above the buildings We were young enough to waste time Talking dreams at the 7-Eleven sign You drew little hearts on my cold hand Said, “Don’t grow up too fast” Now every streetlight feels like déjà vu Every skyline somehow looks like you And I still hear your voice when it rains Like Tokyo never really changed We stayed awake ‘til the sky turned blue Thought the summer would never move But all good things disappear too soon Like fireworks fading over Shibuya moon Tokyo in July You and I under electric skies Golden hearts in the arcade light Trying to make one summer survive Tokyo in July Now your name just passes me by But every neon glow at night Still feels like you Still feels like you Phone full of blurry photographs Laughing while the subway passed Tiny apartment, fan on low Music echoing through the radio You said someday we’d leave this town Buy a place where the lights die down But life moves fast when you’re nineteen And forever’s smaller than it seems Now I walk alone through crowded streets Different faces, same old beat And every time the sunset bleeds I swear your ghost walks next to me We stayed awake ‘til the sky turned blue Thought the summer would never move But all good things disappear too soon Like fireworks fading over Shibuya moon Tokyo in July You and I under electric skies Golden hearts in the arcade light Trying to make one summer survive Tokyo in July Now your name just passes me by But every neon glow at night Still feels like you Still feels like you Late night trains and crowded bars Still searching for you in passing cars And maybe love was just that night Tokyo in July
