I am aware of a red tide line
But I won’t stop swimming here
Fires blazing, sirens in the night
Things just getting hotter

Two days on the land
For ten months on the water
Awaiting the big wave
I'm waving a kiss to Vancouver

All of the months of wondering why
I'm just not good enough
Over the years, under the rug
Things just get heavy
Now only a few days after and already
You're drawing a fine line
Now I'm waving goodbye
To my city
My lover
And my friend Vancouver
They're tearing us apart

We make it pretty
The way the world sees this city
The way the world
Sees us from afar
The way we are the way we’re meant to be
It's a different city now
It's a different city.
