Waiting for you to come home day after day Used to be enough for me When it changes from red to green I’ll see you In this city named Tokyo
Rain falling on a Sunday in August “I can’t go anywhere,” I say And stop the alarm on my watch
It’s coming down so hard Yesterday’s clear skies don’t feel real It makes me want to make An incoherent phone call
Thinking of you day after day Is the only thing that keeps me breathing I’m foolish, so foolish But I found you In this city named Tokyo
A Sunday in August “Maybe this is all a dream,” I tell myself And stop the alarm on my watch
In the moments before I pass through the ticket turnstiles And make my way home I find myself having wild, incoherent delusions Which makes me nervous
Even if somebody else Is still there inside your heart I’d like to stay here beside you beneath this starless sky While I pretend not to notice
Waiting for you to come home day after day Used to be enough for me Light streams in from my window I met you In this city named Tokyo
