In a much too lively city, I took the long way around, all alone
But it’s still not the loneliest these nights could get
The last train arrives at the Garden Place
As I loathe to part with this lonely night circus
I pretended to search for a missing coat button
I don’t want to go home yet…
It seems I really don’t want to go home
The path I carved while chatting idly with the night
Bore a striking resemblance to this city
Saying farewell to it doesn’t come so easily
But I don’t really need a reason
That always comes after the fact
In a much too lively city, I took the long way around, all alone
But it’s still not the loneliest these nights could get
On the road home
At an intersection lined with trees
I burned the night sky into my memories
I had no idea a worn out memory could be this beautiful
I had no idea…
If there’s something beyond this, and that thing is light,
All I really have to do is treasure each moment,
Isn’t it?
In a much too lively city, I took the long way around, all alone
But it’s still not the loneliest these nights could get
In a much too lively city, I took the long way around, all alone
Once again, I’ll be saved by these lonely nights
No matter your desires, Tokyo nights will swallow them up,
Then spit them back out again for you
If I were to be out in the light when that happened,
How wonderful it would be
Having wandered through this circus tent of a city,
I hummed my new song, waiting for a taxi to stop
