In "Tokyo," Bash Croft chases distance to escape a lingering heartbreak, but every new city still holds the ghost of the one who moved on. The ache sharpens against a whirlwind romance in France that feels perfect yet wrong, proving geography cannot undo memory. The repeated plea to call out of the blue, already knowing the answer, captures the pull between pride and longing. The closing wish to be lonely together turns isolation into a fragile hope for one more goodbye.
Tokyo Lyrics by Bash Croft
Took a train to tokyo
Just me and my wired headphones, I
Wanna tell you but you’ve moved on
So much has happened since you left, I
Stubbed my toe on the table leg, I
Wanna tell you but you’ve moved on
Thought if I flew, far enough, you might disappear
But you’re in London and somehow I still see you here
All I wanna do is
Call you out of the blue
Hear you dance around the fact that you still think of me too
Say I won’t but I probably will
I already know the answer but I’m asking you still
Do you get lonely sometimes?
Do you want one more goodbye?
Met a boy in the south of France
A whirlwind of a queer romance
‘Cause he was perfect but something’s wrong
Thought if I flew, far enough, you might disappear
But I’m in Tokyo, and I hope you know, I see you here
All I wanna do is
Call you out of the blue
Hear you dance around the fact that you still think of me too
Say I won’t but I probably will
I already know the answer but I’m asking you still
Do you get lonely sometimes?
Do you want one more goodbye?
‘Cause I know it won’t be forever
But can we be lonely together?
When I close my eyes
You’re there by my side
All I wanna do is
Call you out of the blue
Hear you dance around the fact that you still think of me too
Like, fuck you, but I hope you’re alright
I already know the answer but I don’t know the why
Do you get lonely sometimes?
Do you want one more goodbye?
