[日本語]

[English]

Wake up my heels in my hands

Wake up my heels in my hands

I’m calling up my friends

I’m calling up my friends

I’m breaking all of my plans

I’m breaking all of my plans

I just wanna dance

I just wanna dance

今日はまだ帰りたくないや

I don’t want to go home just yet

作り笑いでもいいから

Even if it’s just a forced smile, that's fine

Hey what you doing tonight

Hey, what are you doing tonight

I just wanna dance

I just wanna dance

気が変になってくる city

This city is driving me crazy

Got me up up up all night

Got me up up up all night

Tokyo 4am

Tokyo 4am

Calling you up again

Calling you up again

Guess I can’t help That when I’m drunk I miss you

Guess I can’t help it That when I’m drunk I miss you

I get messy when I kiss you

I get messy when I kiss you

I’m like damn

I’m like damn

Got my heart in your hands

Got my heart in your hands

Guess I can’t help that

Guess I can’t help that

Ever since I met you

Ever since I met you

No I can’t forget you

No, I can’t forget you

Tokyo 4am

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

いつもどおりの悪い癖でも

Even with my usual bad habits

どうしようもなく会いたくなるの

I can’t help but want to see you

君の周りにはシンデレラ

Around you, there’s Cinderella

私は君に愛を歌うロックスター

I’m a rockstar singing love to you

Got no liquor in my cup so I’m filling it

Got no liquor in my cup so I’m filling it

I don’t wanna fall in love but I’m feeling it

I don’t wanna fall in love but I’m feeling it

I know how this ends

I know how this ends

When I’m feeling so alone

When I’m feeling so alone

I want you to pull me close

Don’t know where I wanna go
