Niki High School In Jakarta Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn't you hear Amanda's movin' back to Colorado?
It's 2013 and the end of my life
Freshman's year's about to plummet just a little harder
But it didn't 'cause we kissed on that Halloween night
I bleached half my hair when I saw Zoe on your vespa
It was orange from three percent peroxide, thanks to you
I needed a good cry, I headed right to Kendra's
I hated you and hoped to God that you knew

[Pre-Chorus]
Now there's drama (Drama)
Found a club for that
Where I met ya (Met ya)
Had a heart attack
Yadda, yadda
At the end, yeah we burned, made a couplе U-turns
You were it 'til you werеn't
[Chorus]
Highschool in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
Yeah living under that was hard, but I loved you harder
Highschool in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
I still hate you for makin' me wish I came out smarter
You love-hate mother? So do I
Could've ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta

[Verse 2]
Got a group assignment, I'll be at Val's place
You don't text at all and only call when you're off your face
I'm petty and say, "Call me when you're not unstable"
I lie and tell you I'll be gettin' drunk at Rachel's

[Pre-Chorus]
I wasn't
She doesn't even drink But I couldn't have you sit there and think
That you're better, 'cause you're older
Are you better, now that we're older?

[Chorus]
Highschool in Jakarta, sorta modern Sparta
Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
We were a sonata, thanks to tight-lipped fathers
Yeah living under that was hard, but I loved you harder
Highschool in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
I still hate you for makin' me wish I came out smarter
You love-hate mother? So do I
Could've ended different, then again we went to high school in Jakarta
[Verse 3]
Natasha's movin' to New York (New York)
Probably sometime in August (Ah-ah)
And I'm spendin' the Summer in Singapore (Ah-ah)
I'm so sad, I can't tell you shit anymore
I made friends with Abby this year (This is how I met your mom)
We're movin' in, in March or so
And although you bring me to tears
I'm glad that we gave it a go

[Outro]
High School in Jakarta, American summer
Had no chance against the Marxist girl with marijuana
I was your piñata, she was a star-charter
Glad she gave it to you real hard, but I loved you harder
High School in Jakarta, I won't, but I wanna
Ask you when you talk about it, do I ever come up?
Say thanks to your mama, now we're through
Could've ended different, then again we went to High School in Jakarta
