NIKI tour dates & tickets: nikizefanya.com
Nicole Tour dates & tickets: nikizefanya.com
VERSE 1
Didn’t you hear Amanda’s moving back to Colorado?
It’s 2013 & the end of my life
Freshman year’s about to plummet just a little harder
But it didn’t cause we kissed on that Halloween night
VERSE 2
I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoe on your Vespa
It was orange from 3% peroxide, thanks to you
I needed a good cry, I headed right to Kendra’s
I hated you and I hoped to God that you knew
PRE CHORUS 1
Now there’s drama (drama)
Found a club for that
Where I met ya (met ya)
Had a heart attack
Yadda yadda
At the end, yeah we burned, made a couple U-turns, you were it til you weren’t
CHORUS 1
High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
Yeah living under that was hard, but I loved you harder
High school in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
I still hate you for making me wish I came out smarter
You love/hate your mother, so do I
Could’ve ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta
VERSE 2
Got a group assignment, I’ll be at Vall’s place
You don’t text at all and only call when you’re off your face
I’m petty and say, “Call me when you’re not unstable”
I lie and tell you I’ll be getting drunk at Rachel’s
PRE CHORUS 2
I wasn’t
She doesn’t even drink
But I couldn’t have you sit there and think
That you’re better, cause you’re older
Are you better, now that we’re older?
CHORUS 2
High school in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
Yeah living under that was hard, but I loved you harder
High school in Jakarta, a comedy drama
I still hate you for making me wish I came out smarter
You love/hate your mother, so do I
Could’ve ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta
BRIDGE
Natasha’s moving to New York
Probably sometime in August
And I’m spending the summer in Singapore
I’m so sad I can’t tell you shit anymore [CLEAN: I’m so sad I can’t call you up anymore]
I made friends with Abby this year
We’re moving in in March or so
And although you bring me to tears
I’m glad that we gave it a go
CHORUS 3
High school in Jakarta, American summer
Had no chance against the Marxist girl with marijuana [CLEAN: Had no chance against the Marxist, she loved Melodrama]
I was your piñata, she was a star-charter
Glad she gave it to you real hard, but I loved you harder
High school in Jakarta,
I won’t but I wanna
Ask you when you talk about it do I ever come up?
Say thanks to your mama, now we’re through
Could’ve ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta

NIKI went to one of the most expensive high schools in her country, yet she's telling us a story of high school love. I guess no matter where we are and where we go to school, some things are the same.

[@yovitanuralifahtafian7002]

True. Eventhough I went to public highschool in Jkt I still find this song quite relatable. The romance with a senior who then move out of the city for college, the mention about the traffic, going separate ways with your friends after graduating, etcetc. This song depicts a very typical teenage romance and drama YET NIKI can put it in such an elaborate and beautiful lyricism. This song is truly a BOP

[@nuruddinbash4703]

True 💯

aah hs, the place where i could be a little smarter and cool but I wasn't. at least i had a pretty interesting hs love story and got into nice extracurricular activities
