Music/lyrics: Ng Meiting
You, you resist the tide
But the world’s a giant brine
You, you’re gonna get caught
Up in this hell of a fight
You, you escape the fall
But you can’t elude the trawl
You, you’re a big girl now
But you’re not coming around
Now you’re crossing the line
And you don’t feel fine
It’s like they’re shining the red lights
And you don’t know why
You’re like leaves on water
And falling glitter
You try to run but the walls they keep
Closing up on you
I’m scared
You’re bound to nothing
But they tell you that’s not right
You started swimming
And you get caught up in the tide
Saying ooh, ooh
You’re bound to fall in
But they tell you you’ll survive
You don’t know everything
But you know this ain’t right
Saying ooh, ooh
They expect you to know
How your life is gonna be
Twenty years down the road
Will you still feel as empty
Will you be a dying sunset
Depleted of your light
Will you bow to your kismet
Shy away from your flight
You feel like time passes so fast
You can’t even breathe
When your dreams are bedfast
How do you live
The life, the fight
The wanderlust inside
Do you please everyone
Or do you let your heart decide
And you, you resist the tide
But the world’s a giant brine
