Lyrics of High School in Jakarta – Niki

[Verse 1: Niki]
Didn’t you hear that Amanda is moving back to Colorado?
It’s 2013 and the end of my life
The freshman year is about to crash a little harder
But not because we kissed that Halloween night

[Verse 2: Niki]
I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoe on your Vespa
Thanks to you, it was orange from 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
I needed a good wine, I went straight to Kendra’s
I hated you and I hoped to god you knew

[Pre-Chorus: Niki]
Now there’s drama (drama), found a club for it
Where I met you (Met ya), had a heart attack
Yesda, Yesda
In the end, yes, we burned
Did a few U-turns
It was you ’til you wasn’t (Mm)

[Chorus: Niki]
High school in Jakarta, modern day Sparta so to speak
Didn’t stand a chance against the youthful suburban fleets
We were a sonata, thanks to taciturn fathers
Yes, living under it was hard, but I loved you even more
High School in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
I still hate you for wishing I’d come out wiser
You hate your mother, so do I
But it could have ended differently
We went to high school in Jakarta

[Verse 3: Niki]
I have a group assignment, I’m with Vall
You don’t text at all and only call when you’re away
I’m picky and I say, “Call me if you’re not unstable.”
I lie and tell you I’m going to get drunk at Rachel’s

[Pre-Chorus: Niki]
It wasn’t me, she doesn’t even drink
But I couldn’t let you sit and think
That you’re better because you’re older
Are you better now that we’re older?

[Chorus: Niki]
High school in Jakarta, modern day Sparta so to speak
Didn’t stand a chance against the youthful suburban fleets
We were a sonata, thanks to taciturn fathers
Yes, living under it was hard, but I loved you even more
High School in Jakarta, a comedy drama
I still hate you for wishing I’d come out wiser
You hate your mother, so do I
But it could have ended differently
We went to high school in Jakarta
