[Verse 1: Jordan Haj, Emma Smetana]
The hurry, the money
My mother, your mother
The big hit, the habit
Our night calls, the mornings
[Pre-Chorus: Jordan Haj, Emma Smetana]
You said this city is mean and cold
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe at all
At 20 I'm mean and old
I’m living in a house that ain't no home
[Chorus: Jordan Haj, & Emma Smetana]
So by now
Have you met people and had fun?
If something from the past comes to hunt you down
Would you let it go or would you run?
So by now
Have you changed the colour of your hair?
Did you keep your name?
I remained the same
[Post-Chorus: Jordan Haj & Emma Smetana]
That something in the air you're feeling
That is how your heart is healing
By now, by now
That something in the air you're feeling
That is how your heart is healing
By now, by now
[Verse 2: Emma Smetana]
Deux enfants , deux pays
Deux visages, deux couleurs
[Pre-Chorus: Emma Smetana, Jordan Haj, Both]
You said this city is mean and cold
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe at all (I can't breathe)
At 20 I'm mean and old (Old)
I'm living in a house that ain't no home
[Chorus: Jordan Haj, Emma Smetana]
So by now (So by now)
Have you met people and had fun?
If something from the past comes to hunt you down
Would you let it go
Or would you run?
So by now (So by now)
Have you changed the colour of your hair ?
Did you keep your name?
I remained the same
[Post-Chorus: Jordan Haj & Emma Smetana]
That something in the air you're feeling (Air you're feeling)
That is how your heart is healing (Heart is healing)
By now, by now
That something in the air you're feeling (Air you're feeling)
That is how your heart is healing (Heart is healing)
By now, by now
[Outro: Jordan Haj, Emma Smetana, Both]
That something in the air you're feeling (The big hit)
That is how your heart is healing (The habit)
By now (Our night calls)
By now (Our mornings)
That something in the air you're feeling
That is how your heart is healing
By now, by now
