On “Tokyo Drift,” Australian singer Mallrat reflects on a friendship that seems to be fading. The title makes reference to the 2006 Fast and Furious series film Tokyo Drift.
The song appears as the introduction to the singer’s debut EP Uninvited.
[Verse 1]
And we're never on time
Laughing at the wrong time
Laughing for a long time
Think it's gonna be alright
And we're never on time
Laughing at the wrong time
Laughing at the wrong thing, laughing for a long time
Think it's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
We don't talk much, but I hope that you're well
Let's drive to the beach and play songs from 2012
I've been meaning to text you for seven or eight days
Get back from your vacay, meet me at HJ's
We had like a million great days, at least
And that's only since grade eight, I mean
HSM like 2006
I take all the blame for this Tokyo Drift
[Bridge]
Weeks were getting super long and I was getting bored now
Monday doesn't even feel like Monday anymore
And everyone was always wrong, I'm glad that we ignored now
Monday doesn't even feel like Monday anymore
[Verse 2]
And we're never on time
Laughing at the wrong time
Laughing for a long time
Think it's gonna be alright
And we're never on time
Laughing at the wrong time
Laughing at the wrong thing, laughing for a long time
Think it's gonna be alright
[Bridge]
Weeks were getting super long and I was getting bored now
Monday doesn't even feel like Monday anymore
And everyone was always wrong, I'm glad that we ignored now
Monday doesn't even feel like Monday anymore
[Chorus]
We don't talk much, but I hope that you're well
Let's drive to the beach and play songs from 2012
I've been meaning to text you for seven or eight days
Get back from your vacay, meet me at HJ's
We had like a million great days, at least
And that's only since grade eight, I mean
HSM like 2006
I take all the blame for this Tokyo Drift
[Verse 3]
And we're never on time
Laughing at the wrong time
Laughing for a long time
Think it's gonna be alright
And we're never on time
Laughing at the wrong time
Laughing at the wrong thing, laughing for a long time
Think it's gonna be alright
