about

I named this song after the place I spent my last evening with someone (romantically, they did not die). But then I realized that Little Tokyo is in downtown LA and I was mixing it up with Sawtelle Japantown. But Little Tokyo has a better ring to it than Sawtelle Japantown so I kept that as the title

lyrics

Lyrics:

We sat on your bed
As you rested your head on me
You were glad that I came
which made it that much harder to breathe

There was this knot in my chest
As I said what was in my heart
Because we’re so close, babe
So close but so far

And I can’t sit here and just pretend
I feel something that I don’t
And I’d do anything to forget
The words that you spoke
When you spoke

That the good ones are the worst to leave
Because there’s no big fights
And no one’s right
And even though this hurts to see
It sure was nice
Having you by my side

There’s a beauty to heartbreak
That no one talks about
You never hold someone as tight
Knowing they won’t be around

There was solace in the moment
Even through all the red in our eyes
But the guilt of leaving you
Will stay with me ’til i die
As I too find

That the good ones are the worst to leave
Because there’s no release
You’re just so damn sweet
So please don’t take this personally
Because it sure was nice
Having you by my side

I can’t help but to think if we
Had met at a different time
Maybe it all worked out just fine
In another life

I'm a singer, songwriter, and bassist from Upstate New York currently making music in Los Angeles, CA.

It's taken me a while to get to the point where I can release my own music and have a pretty big backlog to get through, so be on the lookout for new tunes.

Thanks for stopping by and let me know of any comments/criticisms! ... more
