From Milwaukee to Memphis, Pittsburgh to Portland, Maine
I'm a little restless, feeling like a need a change
By way of Brooklyn and up to Boston
I'm disenchanted, considering every option
I'm thinking and thinking that being around here has me sinking
And while home is always best, my neighborhood in the Midwest
I want to get lost in you, Tokyo
I've got a lot to say to you, Tokyo
It's nostalgic and quiet, but louder than silence
I want to get lost in you, Tokyo
(Tokyo)
Here's to folks in Michigan, back and forth to Chicago
Along the lake, within the snow
I'm thinking and thinking that being around here has me sinking
And while home is always best, my neighborhood in the Midwest
I want to get lost in you, Tokyo
I've got a lot to say to you, Tokyo
It's nostalgic and quiet, but louder than silence
I want to get lost in you, Tokyo
I need more nights in Paris, more time in Stockholm
Some days I will be careless trying to feel known
I need more nights in Paris, more time in Stockholm
Some days I will be careless trying to feel
I want to get lost in you, Tokyo
I've got a lot to say to you, Tokyo
It's nostalgic and quiet, but louder than silence
I want to get lost in you, Tokyo

The band's front man Mike Hranica says of this song that the last time the band played Tokyo, him and their keyboardist Jon Gering were walking through the town of Shibuya a bit drunk. He says Jon has a habit of making up little songs when drinking so he started singing this songs chorus, and I said we’d record it someday. Fast forward a few years and we’ve actually made it into a song. There’s something nostalgic about it now
