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
