Tokyo Lyrics

I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
Only in my dreams, because they're all I know
Neon lights flashing in my brain
Cruising through the city on a bullet train

Dove into the depths of the deepest sea
I know I can't swim, that's the funny thing
Only in my dreams, only in my dreams

I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'
I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'

Only in my dreams, only in my dreams
Only in my dreams, only in my dreams
Tell me what you see, tell me what you see
Tell me what you see, tell me what you see
Only in my dreams, only in my dreams
Only in my dreams, only in my dreams
Tell me what you see, tell me what you see
Tell me what you see, tell me what you see

I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'
I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'
I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'
I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'

I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo

I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo

I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
Only in my dreams, because they're all I know
Neon lights flashing in my brain
Cruising through the city on a bullet train

Dove into the depths of the deepest sea
I know I can't swim, that's the funny thing
Only in my dreams, only in my dreams

I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'
I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'

Only in my dreams, only in my dreams
Only in my dreams, only in my dreams
Tell me what you see, tell me what you see
Tell me what you see, tell me what you see
Only in my dreams, only in my dreams
Only in my dreams, only in my dreams
Tell me what you see, tell me what you see
Tell me what you see, tell me what you see

I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'
I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'
I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'
I'll try and keep up, but I know I'm failin'

I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo

I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo
I, I, I, Went to Tokyo

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
