LYRICS:
I’d move to Tokyo
If that’s where you want to go
Don’t have to go alone
You can just let me know
I’d move to Tokyo
To London or Mexico
Know that I said goodbye
But can I still change my mind
I was just scared
It got heavy
This time I swear
I’m ready
There, there
I'm ready
There, there
I'm ready
I’d move to Tokyo
Know that I said goodbye
But can I still change my mind
There, there
I'm ready
I was just scared
It got heavy
I’d move to Tokyo
To London or Mexico
Know that I said goodbye
But can I still change my mind
I was just scared
This time I swear
I’m ready
But can I still change my mind
There, there
I'm ready
There, there
I'm ready

Reminds me of that one line from Interstellar: "The only way humans have ever figured out of getting somewhere is to leave something behind."

[@alienplatypus7712]

My human brain: ooh what a nice quote My engineering student brain: Actually it's not just that we have only figured out that way, but according to the proven laws of both conservation of momentum and the second laws of thermodynamics- My human brain:shut up that's not the point this isn't a physics quote My engineering student brain: ...it actually wouldn't be possible to go somewhere without leaving something behind, as to do so would be to either create energy or to achieve forward propulsion without creating an equal and opposite reaction, both of which would entirely violate the laws of physics.

Well stated completely agree. I was born in 1987, but I honestly wish I was a teenager and had social memorable experiences from this past time frame. I haven't researched this song, but is it supposed to be the 1980's? The music video makes me cry because it touches my emotions. That is how you know you have a good fuckin' song on your hands (or in your ears)

[@sharpeye3035]

[@Epicbutton12]

I like to think this song/video isn't about anything dark. I feel shes just simply grown tired and decided to move somewhere new, hence the luggage you see she carries and the face of optimism and determination she has in the end. She wouldn't need luggage if she was going to heaven and her expression would be more of relief than determination as if to say "I made it to Tokyo im gonna have a new start here". Theres always a second chance and always room for a fresh start. Stay positive and happy! Love the track

[@Single4ever4lovesake]

Thank you.

[@dolces06]

Is crazy how music can touch ur inner feelings and get u nostalgic,thinking about how things were and how they are gona be,when you finally take a look back and say its time to move on.

[@iVuDang]

This song reminds me of a younger me, wandering in Japan, seeing the beautiful and romantic lights and people at night - a bittersweet and nostalgic feeling because you wish you could go back to that point and youth in time! Thank you 3LAU - very beautiful song.

Would've been awesome actually... but it's still a great track and the feelings will always stay in my mind... :)

[@jaybird6389]

Me and my wife were thinking the lyrics are from the words of the boyfriend. "know that I said goodbye. But can I still change my mind? The girl asked him to go with her but he turned her down but he thinks he might change his mind. "It was just scary. It got heavy" He was overwhelmed by her asking him to go. "There, there I'm ready" "I'd move to Tokyo if that's where you want to go" He's changed his mind and realized what a good thing he let go.

[@peterparker-mz3su]

Your definitely right she’s afraid of joining him and losing everything in her life

[@greatergood5896]

The song is from the girlfriend’s point of view. The music video is about her picturing the life she would leave behind, only to come to the conclusion that the people who she thought could not live without her would be just fine and her departure would not change the way they do things. Regretfully, let her boyfriend go and the whole song is about her asking him to allow her to reconsider her decision!
