“Tokyo” is Annaland’s debut single, released by the YouTube powerhouse (and Geffen Records-affiliated) Proximity label.

[Verse 1]
Alone just to try the grownup way
I don't know over the phone if you feel the same, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And we could blow the lights out of this town, you know
In the dark outside our hearts will glow
'Cause we love big
Yeah, we love big
And we could blow the lights out of this town, you know
In the dark outside our hearts will glow
'Cause we love big
A little more than we know
[Chorus 1]
Gone off to Tokyo
Jump, run, fly, telephone
Call, I'm in Tokyo
Jump, run, fly
[Verse 2]
Compare, we're used to better days
I feel you sellin' out, too scared to play, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And we could blow the lights out of this town, you know
In the dark outside our hearts will glow
'Cause we love big
Yeah, we love big
And we could blow the lights out of this town, you know
In the dark outside our hearts will glow
'Cause we love big
A little more than we know
[Chorus 2]
Gone off to Tokyo
Jump, run, fly, telephone
Call, I'm in Tokyo
Jump, run, fly, telephone
[Breakdown]
Du du du du, du du du du du
Du du du du, oooh (ooh ooh)
Du du du du, du du du du du
Du du du du, oooh (ooooh, ooh ooh)
[Bridge]
Gone off to Tokyo
Jump, run, fly, telephone
Call I'm in Tokyo
Jump, run, fly, telephone
[Chorus 2]
Gone off to Tokyo
Jump, run, fly, telephone
Call, I'm in Tokyo
Jump, run, fly, telephone
