Lyrics:
[VERSE 1]
It’s a West Coast winter, sun’s still a furnace
So I keep tanning, just never on purpose
I’m saturated in equal parts sun and doubt
So I turn the fan on high and hope I sweat it out
[VERSE 2]
Christmas is coming, I miss my mama
least I got my daddy, but he’s in Jakarta
And there it’s raining, while here it’s dry as bone
Kinda wish I knew what I meant when I say I miss home
[CHORUS]
Guess I’m forever caught between two worlds
Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head & heart at war
I do my best between addresses, wish I were on either side of the foreign wall
Always part of me missin’,
but no one sees a difference,
cause I split them all
[VERSE 3]
Spread so thin, I’m low on emotional bandwidth
The voice in my head speaks a different language
And where I live, they believe, you only have yourself
But where I’m from, you’re taught to be somebody else
So hellos are short, goodbyes are only half-farewells
[CHORUS]
Oh I guess I’m forever caught between two worlds
Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head & heart at war
I do my best between addresses, wish I were on either side of the foreign wall
Always part of me missin’, but no one sees a difference, cause I split them all

[@xiakusunoki1442]

She never fails to amaze us with her music

[@bentikath8207]

Literally TRUE!

[@LENS3YED]

As a person living in the other side of the world, away from home, yes “split” is relatable. Stay strong and resilient, hang on!
To Niki: you’re definitely rocking both addresses. Congratulations!

[@fromedia_]

I got goosebumps because I don't know why, this sounds so nostalgic to my childhood. Some notes kinda remind me of a song I've heard when I was a kid or in my teenage life. It's so strange but beautiful. I've repeat it a few times and still got the same goosebumps, like a deja vu.. Amazing NIKI!

[@herdianaptr]

Me too. I feel like I’ve heard this music before. Niki made me reminiscing memories I’ve never had.

[@stefanusmahendra1284]

Same here😭

[@laurenmoy7439]

q

[@marcusjackson4148]

I got that same vibe of I've heard something like it, but not exactly this. I honestly love this song. it's so sad but so good too

[@marcusjackson4148]

@hooleezzz yes it does have a lot of instrumentals that hark back to 60s music. I'm an 80s baby and my mom listened to this kinds stuff. She passed in '16 but this song is somehow cathartic for me

[@roxiebabe4180]

This is an island girl christmas track cuz we're on the other side of the world and we miss home. Luv u Niki. Thank you!

[@RIRIany]

THE WEIRD THING ABOUT NIKIs MUSIC IS HER SONGS ALMOST ALL, IS SPARKS MAGIC, ETHEREAL, AND COZY VIBES WHICH IS WE FOUND REALLY RARE ON TODAYS MUSIC. SHE IS REALLY TALENTED. Keren Niki!!!

[@harleylinhdan]

"So here you are / Too foreign for home / Too foreign for here / Never enough for both"
Living far away from home by yourself is definitely not easy. The power lies in our freedom of choice, that it is totally up to us to choose our values and identity and decide who we want to become. But it is also what frightens and overwhelms us the most. I'm too still trying to find the answer for this, but seems like it's just going to be a never-ending battle of internal conflict that we just have to learn and grow with.
But thank you Niki for putting these feelings into words, in such a raw and beautiful way like you always do. Gosh I just love this woman

[@pasulong]

god niki's songs *really* always feel like home aaaaaa

[@some-dq2hp]

[@onyour_f2739]

Frr, I'm Miss Home Right Now😥😭

[@sumateraarctic2442]

We talked about how this song painfully beautiful bcs it relatable enough but rarely talk about Niki herself... Imagine being her all goofy and kind and down to earth but this whole lyrics is actually what she felt inside. Especially that part when she misses her mama.

[@elwa9363]

this song makes me imagine a fantasy/ethereal type of scene bcs is sounds so majestic!
Imagine:
You went to a ball and socialized with everyone. Dancing and talking, everyone enjoyed their time. As time goes, your social battery starts to run out so you walk outside and found yourself in a garden maze. Bright moonlight shines and you saw someone sitting there admiring the night sky. You approach them and talked while subtle music plays in the background. They invite you to have a dance and there you are, slow dancing under the moonlight with this person. After you're done, they asked if they can see you again so you say "maybe some other time" and parted ways. Days past, you still think about this person. You went out to clear your mind and end up in a small local cafe. As you order, a person said "I'll have what they have", turns out it's the person and time stopped.

[@devaldyjonathan]

😭😭😭 that kind of good endings are super rare tho irl 💔

[@matthewjoshuaatmaja452]

"Social battery".. can relate

[@vitaminjovitaa]

you should deffinitely write a book/story about that😭👍

[@marcusjackson4148]

Cool story bro

[@andrewpark6602]

Someone is definitely binge watching too much shows

[@fa9287]

I can imagine myself crying in an apartment, miles from home, missing my hommies, and definitely lonely. This song makes me cry harder

[@vanaked]

This song sounds so personal. Proud of you NIKI!

[@kylenepelotea5401]

Getting obsessed with this song

[@rizkiwahyudif9438]

Kak Niki bikin merinding suaranya. Mulus banget. Beeuuhh terbaik lahh...

[@SinMinn]

As a Malaysian stuck in Singapore during the pandemic working while my parents and brother in Malaysia, and sister in Australia, this hits hard.

[@anishalimbu5211]

As a person who is far away from homeland living alone in abroad for study. This song quite hit hards. Recalling all the hardships that i went through from the past 2 years. It was quite a journey of new experiences with some good/ bad memories. Thank u niki for bringing again nostalgia feelings back 💜

[@NoviliaPutriDwi]

she's really speaking from her heart.... and it reaches mine well. all the best for you, niki! thank you for the music :,)

[@crimsonscarlet1664]

I cried with this last night and my eyes are swollen this morning.

[@ronaldussandy]

[@beamaeloriii6948]

[@kellymhavelle]

how come this song can be so beautiful and painful at the same time

[@iinrisam5847]

Tropical christmas song? Is there such thing? There is and NIki just made it!
There is something tropical, island like about this. Yet, at the same time, it also feels cold snow-covered, christmas-y feels to it

[@bellbung]

blessed and i cried literally, how niki?!

[@Carolina-es5sb]

This is so beautiful, love u

[@moira8450]

beautiful beatiful song with beautiful lyrics

[@toothie17]

As someone who’s been going back and forth overseas, I relate so much with the song! “Always part of me missing, but no one sees the difference”
Love your lyrics and musics!

[@myewie.]

this song is definitely hitting harder than it should as someone who had to leave their home to another country not too long ago. feeling too foreign in a new place, feeling too foreign in your old home, growing up with different cultures and being forced to adjust to a new one and leave some of the old one behind... it's hard, especially when all your life, it's all you've ever known.
this is definitely a new favorite of mine, niki. always admired your storytelling! 💛🧡

[@bobjenkins1787]

ngl, i fell distant from ur music over the past 2 yrs but this reminds me sm of ur old music and i love it
