Lost In Japan
Shawn Mendes Lyrics

All it'd take is one flight
Shawn Mendes is thinking that flying to the same location is all that is needed for him to be with that special someone.

We'd be in the same time zone
Being in the same time zone would mean that they could spend more time together without worrying about time differences.

Looking through your timeline
Shawn is interested in learning more about this person and has been checking their social media profiles.

Seeing all the rainbows, I
The colorful and positive pictures on this person's timeline have captured Shawn's attention.

I got an idea
Shawn has come up with a spontaneous plan to see this person in person.

And I know that it sounds crazy
Shawn understands that his plan may come across as impulsive or unrealistic.

I just wanna see ya
Shawn's motive behind this plan is to finally meet this person in real life.

Oh, I gotta ask
Before finalizing his plan, Shawn needs to confirm if this person is free and willing to see him tonight.

Do you got plans tonight?
Shawn is asking if this person has any prior commitments for the night so that he can plan accordingly.

I'm a couple hundred miles from Japan, and I
Shawn is currently in a different time zone, a few hundred miles away from Japan, their meeting point.

I was thinkin' I could fly to your hotel tonight
Shawn's plan is to fly from his current location to this person's hotel tonight to meet them.

'Cause I can't get you off my mind
Shawn's obsession with this person, and his attraction towards them, is what is driving him to take this impulsive step.

I could feel the tension
Shawn can sense a stronger emotional connection between himself and this person rather than just friendship.

We could cut it with a knife
The tension between them is so palpable that it feels like it can be cut with a knife.

I know it's more than just a friendship
Shawn acknowledges that the connection between them is much stronger than just mutual friendship, and there are romantic feelings involved.

I can hear you think I'm right, yeah
Shawn senses that the other person's thoughts, too, are in the same direction.

Do I gotta convince you
Shawn wants to confirm if this person is willing to take the same step as him, and if he needs to convince them further.

That you shouldn't fall asleep?
Shawn wants to ensure that this person doesn't go to bed if they have the slightest interest in wanting to see him tonight.

It'll only be a couple hours
Shawn wants to clarify that this meeting wouldn't take up much of their time and would be just for a few hours.

And I'm about to leave
Shawn is emphasizing that he will have to leave soon after their meeting since he has to travel back to his current location.

Do you got plans tonight, baby?
Shawn is asking again if this person has any plans for the night, and adding a pet name 'baby' in the end to show affection.

I was hopin' I could get lost in your paradise
Shawn's desire is to disappear into their world, their 'paradise,' and spend some quality time together.

The only thing I'm thinkin' 'bout is you and I
Shawn's mind is preoccupied with thoughts of this person and the possibilities that come with them being together on this wild adventure.

Let's get lost tonight
Shawn is suggesting that they both throw caution to the wind and get lost in each other tonight.

Baby, you and I can't seem to get you off my mind
Shawn is expressing his desire to be with this person and the fact that they are constantly on his mind.
