Lyrics Anaheim - Live at The Wiltern - NIKI

LA, I wrote this song when I was 17 years old
In my bedroom in Jakarta
And I get to play it to you now at 23 at a sold-out Wiltern show
In Los Angeles, California
Thank you so much
It's all truly because of you

If I could, I'd freeze this moment, make it my home
You're all I want to want to know
I can tell you mean it when you kiss me slow
But please don't ask me, the answer's no

In a perfect world, I'd kill to love you the loudest
But all I do is live to hurt you soundless
Say you see I'm lying, babe, and let this go
I can never promise you tomorrow

'Cause I have yet to learn
How not to be his
This city will surely burn
If we keep this as it is

But I'd give anything to stop time
And drive around Anaheim at sundown
And teach my mind to put you first
Here you are, a hero
You wanna be my new home
But baby, let up, I won't ever recognize these roads
'Cause I am lost, but not in you
Yes, I am lost, but not in you

I could spend my days studying your laugh's melody
And I can't live with myself, 'cause I know you'd die for me
Oh, all I ask of you is please don't sleep
On this bed of promises I can't keep

'Cause I have yet to know
How to be mine
You can try to unearth this soul
I swear you'll hate what you find, oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh, oh

I'd give anything to stop time
Commit to you and not crimes
Against your truth and lose sight
Of every divide
Threatening to undo this story
But baby, I'm so sorry
I don't think that I'll ever memorize this route
'Cause I am lost, but not in you
Yes, I am lost, but not in you
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh

(I love you, NIKI) love you too
Alright, this is my little piano moment
Um, have you guys seen this movie "Everything Everywhere All at Once"?
Iconic
Um, seeing that movie really made me understand that I am
A little bit obsessed with the concept of the multiverse
And sort of just this idea that, uh
There's a life out there that you've never really lived
Um, so I wrote a song about that
And it's called "The Apartment We Won't Share"
