Lost In Japan
Kelsea Ballerini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All it'd take is one flight
We'd be in the same time zone
Looking through your timeline
Seeing all the rainbows, I
I got an idea
And I know that it sounds crazy
I just wanna see ya
Oh, I gotta ask

Do you got plans tonight?
I'm a couple hundred miles from Japan, and I
I was thinking I could fly to your hotel tonight
'Cause I-I-I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind (oh)

I could feel the tension
We could cut it with a knife
I know it's more than just a friendship
I can hear you thinking 'bout it, yeah
Do I gotta convince you?
That you shouldn't fall asleep?
It'll only be a couple hours
And I'm about to leave

Do you got plans tonight?
I'm a couple hundred miles from Japan, and I
I was thinking I could fly to your hotel tonight
'Cause I-I-I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind

Do you got plans tonight?
I was hoping I could get lost in your paradise
The only thing I'm thinking 'bout is you and I
'Cause I-I-I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
I can't seem to get you off my mind

Let's get lost tonight
Let's get lost tonight
Baby, you and
I can't seem to get you off my mind
Let's get lost tonight
Let's get lost tonight
Baby, you and
I can't seem to get you off my mind

Do you got plans tonight?
I'm a couple hundred miles from Japan, and I
I was thinking I could fly to your hotel tonight
'Cause I-I-I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind

Do you got plans tonight, baby?
I was hoping I could get lost in your paradise
The only thing I'm thinking 'bout is you and I
And I-I-I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
I can't seem to get you off my mind, yeah

Let's get lost tonight
Let's get lost tonight
Baby, you and
I can't seem to get you off my mind
Let's get lost tonight
Let's get lost tonight




Baby, you and
I can't seem to get you off my mind

Overall Meaning

In Kelsea Ballerini's "Lost in Japan," the singer is separated from the person they desire by distance and time zones. The song communicates the singer's urge to meet up with their crush, even if it means traveling across the world to do so. The lyrics offer an insight into the dreams of someone who is deeply in love but unable to be physically close to their loved one.


The singer's idea may sound crazy, but it is inspired by the feeling of missing someone deeply. They want nothing more than to be close to their love, and the person's social media posts only fuel that urge. The lyrics describe a palpable tension, a feeling that their relationship is more than just a friendship. They urge the person to stay awake and spend the night together instead, as the singer plans to leave in only a few hours.


The song's chorus repeats, reminding the listener of the singer's inability to get their crush off their mind. Ultimately, the singer begs the other person to join them in getting lost together, away from the worries of the world. Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing for the person they desire and a yearning to experience a deep connection with them.
