LYRICS
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

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

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

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

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

  1. "Guess I'm forever caught between two worlds"
    as a person who grow from a broken family these lyrics hits different

  2. As a person who was born and raised in the Netherlands I still grew up with Indonesian parents so this song really hits different. Growing up Indonesian, I would feel different than the other kids here. But when I was in Indonesia, I’d still feel different. I still struggle with identity crisis to this day. But none of my friends really understand my struggle. So when I feel frustrated again, I’ll listen to this song while crying. But this song perfectly explains the frustrated feeling of having two “homes” or identities.
    Thanku Niki, for this beautiful song, sincerely. <3

  3. As an Indonesian who moved to another country and gonna spend life there for the next few years can relate to the message which Nicole tries to tell us in this music. Whenever I feel homesick I listen to this song and it throws me back to my Indo family and friends and things that I used to do while I was still in Indo. In fact, I’ve always felt homesick through and through but the difference now when I try to listen to this song is, I don’t feel alone anymore and I’m glad that someone is struggling the same thing and somehow those Indo memories make me happy and motivate me to pursue my goals and dreams harder. Yup, homesick is definitely not an easy thing and I’d say it’s inevitable especially when you’re struggling to fit in it really confuses your identity but makasih kak niki for making this song it’s definitely cheering me up whenever I feel the blues from being homesick ❤️🤍
    You are my forever inspiration 😁

  4. I’m from Mexico living in the US, all of my family and friends live in Mex too. I cry so hard every time I listen to this song I miss my parents and my life there, I feel lonely, at the same time I found love here, I can’t live without any of my two lifes so there’s always a part missing, Love you Niki💖
