lyrics

Christmas in Tokyo
Looking for some Mistletoe
Wondering where I should
Can't be sure, but Ho, Ho, Ho
Where's the snow?
Not in Tokyo

The lights are brighter here than I ever imagined
I reach for your hand, I can't help it, it's habit
New sights around me, is this really what I wanted?
But you know me it's not a good thing unless I lost it
I miss you, I said it, I know we had an agreement
Truth can be so damn inconvenient.

That green sweater with snowflakes you always wear
Is on this girl at the cafe and she catches me stare
Drop my eyes to my shoes and when look up she's gone
Back to my hotel and I started writing this song
Maybe it's the season that's got me feeling sentimental
There's no Santa at the mall here, I'm missing something essential

It's not cold enough, no sleigh bells, no silent night
We used to decorate our tree and you'd tear up at the sight
There's no chimney to come down, it's well past midnight
Christmas in Tokyo, and it won't be white.

(Oh, not like that though, like the um white, like snow, like white like snow, yeah you got it)

Christmas in Tokyo
Looking for some Mistletoe
Wondering where I should
Can't be sure, but Ho, Ho, Ho
Where's the snow?
Not in Tokyo

We used to sit on the couch and put rum in our cider
Now we're a bit older, and I guess that means wiser
Not sure if it's the carols, or the conversation
that I'm missing the most. It gets lost in translation
Hits me hard to realize I didn't buy anyone a present
Except my mom and her dog, pretty much the end of it
I'm not sure what it's worth across all this distance
But all the same, well, Merry Christmas

Christmas in Tokyo
Looking for some Mistletoe
Wondering where I should
Can't be sure, but Ho, Ho, Ho
Where's the snow?
Not in Tokyo

Christmas in Tokyo
Looking for some Mistletoe
Wondering where I should
Can't be sure, but Ho, Ho, Ho
Where's the snow?
Not in Tokyo
