I am aware of a red tide line but I won't stop swimming here
Fires ablaze and sirens in the night, things will get hotter
Ohh, two days on the land and then ten months on the water
Awaiting the big wave, now I'm waving a kiss to Vancouver
All of the months of wondering why I'm just not good enough
Over the years and under the rug, things will get heavy
And only a few days after it already
Or drawing a fine line, and now I'm waving goodbye
To my city, my lover, my friend
Vancouver, they're tearing us apart
Make it pretty, the way the world sees this city
The way the world sees us from afar
Ohh, the way we are
The way we're meant to be
It's a different city now
It's a different city now.
