[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Christmas is coming, I miss my mama
Well, 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'd say, "I miss home"
[Chorus]
Guess I'm forever caught between two worlds
Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head and heart at war
I do my best between addresses
Wish I were on either side of the forеign wall
Oh, always part of me missing, but no one sees a differеnce
'Cause I split them all (Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, I guess I'm forever caught between two worlds
Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head and heart at war
I do my best between addresses
Wish I were on either side of the foreign wall
Always part of me missing
But no one sees the difference
'Cause I split them all
Split was produced by The Donuts & Bēkon & Jacob Ray.

i wrote it in 2019 w Jacob Ray it was initially written for MOONCHILD but i took it off bc it felt way too personal & special & needed its own life. i wrote it ab forever having to split myself between indo & LA & feeling like i have to constantly “split the difference” or adapt/assi...
It started with me working on MOONCHILD, i found myself saying the phrase, “let’s split the difference” A LOT in the studio, it sorta became an inside joke so i wrote it down in my notes and later realized that’s basically how i’ve felt most of my life. “splitting the difference” within myself a lo...
so fast!!! me and Jacob Ray wrote it together one night in my first apartment in LA. i was really really missing jakarta and my family and the words kind of just spilled out of me immediately. writing it also made me super emo because i realized it sounded like an old nzee 24 song (i used to have a...
