Ticket to Tokyo

I've been living off packs of ramen and bottled water
From the sketchy convenience store
Two blocks from my apartment
Where there's a wanted sign plastered on the front doors
Of my best friend who robbed them when
I told him I had lost my job
And I mean, he had the right intentions, but
He kind of broke the law

Still I took it all
And busted out my money jar
Only need a couple dollars more till I could make the call
To tell you not to cry no more 'cause

Times have been tough, but I've saved enough
For a ticket to Tokyo
Where we fell in love and times were simpler
'Cause we didn't feel alone
It's been tough, but I've saved enough
For a ticket to Tokyo
A ticket to Tokyo

(A ticket to Tokyo)

I've been hearing knocks on my door again
All about the rent that I've yet to pay
And like hell, will I be breaking bank
To appease the man who can't give me a break
I'll sleep in my car and sing at the bars
With my guitar case on the stage
And just so you know, guys, I kind of left it open
For you to leave some change

So I can afford
A ticket's worth to re-explore
The city where I shouted timber to my guard
And so adored my lover
Soon I'll say these words, I'm sure

Times have been tough, but I've saved enough
For a ticket to Tokyo
Where we fell in love and times were simpler
'Cause we didn't feel alone
It's been tough, but I've saved enough
For a ticket to Tokyo
A ticket to Tokyo

Just keep the city warm for me
Just keep the city warm for me
Because before you know
I'll be picking up the phone
Just keep the city warm for me
Just keep the city warm for me
And this time, I'll make the oath
To never, ever, ever let go
