[Intro]
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I
[Verse 1]
Burning cities
Sun scorched sidewalks
But I've turned grey
Inside
My heart's on fire
But I feel cold as ice
[Pre-Chorus]
You're Seoul
You're Paris
And I'm stuck in a city of nowhere
New York
The air is
The only haze I'm getting lost in
[Chorus]
Livin' through the photos
Gettin' lost in your eyes
Be mine oh my
Gone from livin' in the moment
Stuck inside your timeline
Where's mine
Oh why
[Post-Chorus]
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I
[Verse 2]
Someone to hold me
The feeling of your heartbeat
Would fill me
Don't wanna be
Stuck in a daydream
And let life slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
You're Seoul
You're Paris
And I'm stuck in a city of nowhere
New York
The air is
The only haze I'm getting lost in
[Chorus]
Livin' through the photos
Gettin' lost in your eyes
Be mine oh my
Gone from livin' in the moment
Stuck inside your timeline
Where's mine
Oh why
[Post-Chorus]
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I
[Bridge]
25 days
24 hours
23 minutes
22 seconds
21 kisses
Give you 20 more
19 wishes
In 18 years
[Chorus]
Livin' through the photos
Gettin' lost in your eyes
Be mine oh my
Gone from livin' in the moment
Stuck inside your timeline
Where's mine
Oh why
[Post- Chorus]
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I
[Verse 3]
Burning cities
Sun scorched sidewalks
But I've turned grey
Inside
My heart's on fire
But I feel cold as
[Outro]
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I
Ahh ee I I I I

It all started in 2020, a scorching summer. I could feel the heat from the forest fires that burned in cities around me…but for a fleeting moment I felt cold inside.
The “cities” became metaphors for things that I desired: travel, relationships, connections…Like an immovable statue, everything was...
