Living in the City

Lyrics & Composition: TOMOMI
Arrangement: TOMOMI & Shun Maruno

I still don't know why it ended up like that
Those words won't get outta my head
There are so many things I gotta do
And yet today of all days my Wi-Fi's too slow
At 10PM usually I'm watching Netflix
Binge-watching with popcorn and a coke
No, I'm not in the mood for that
It's still a bit too early to sleep

Hmm, that ends right away at the convenience store
There's a newly built laundromat from Berlin
I'm killing in my instapump fury shoes
And like that I'm trying every trick in the book
I'm sure everyone has nights like this
and it's important how we spend them
This is Tokyo

Living in the city
Little by little I become me and I understand
my own self more than anyone else
Living in the moment
Laughing and crying again and again
In the end I always wanna face forward
and anticipate the future
I wanna keep living like that

On the weekend I'll go to Pretty Things
Or I'll search for a T-shirt at BerBerJin
At the intersection's digital billboard
I learn about this year's headliners
How many are there in this wave of too many people?
But I manage through them well just like I'm surfing
It's like it's so monotonous yet like it's not like that
but I love this life

Since coming here, there's been first loves
and stickers put on the wall without permission
I said those embarrassing things
because I was drunk, so forgive me, sister
I don't wanna forget anything
I want to keep embracing it
I am...

Living in the city
Little by little I become me and I understand
my own self more than anyone else
Living in the moment
Laughing and crying again and again
In the end I always wanna face forward
and anticipate the future
I wanna keep living like that

One day a nostalgic wind blew
and I suddenly felt like I was gonna get sucked in
and I felt my heart tighten
so much I couldn't move
but surprisingly I felt like
this city was cuddling close to me
Hey Mama, are things okay like this?
I don't know, but I'm hungry
I kind of miss that girl
Tomorrow I wanna keep smiling, God

Living in the city
Little by little I become me and I understand
my own self more than anyone else
Living in the moment
Laughing and crying again and again
In the end I always wanna face forward
and anticipate the future
I wanna keep living like that

Let's live like that
Let's live like this

Living in the city

Aa natta nowa nazeka ima mo wakaranai
Ano kotoba ga atama kara hanarenai
Yaranakya ikenai koto ippai
Nanoni kyou ni kagitte oso-sugiru Wi-Fi
10PM itsumo nara Netflix
POPPUKOON to KOOKU de BINJIWOCCHINGU
Iya sonna kibun ni narenai shi
Nemuru niwa mada chotto haya-sugiru shi

Nn KONBINI ja sugu ni owaru shi
Dekita bakka no KOIN RANDORII from BERURIN
Wazawaza PONPU FYUURII KIMITE
Souyatte nantoka damashidamashi
Kitto dare ni demo aru konna yoru wo
Douyatte sugosu ka ga juuyou

Living in the city
Sukoshizutsu I become me wakatteku
Dare yori mo jibun no koto
Living in the moment
Nando demo waratte naite
Saigo niwa itsudatte mae wo muite
Mirai ni kitai shitai
Souyatte ikite itai
