Big Wave Goodbye

I am aware of a red tide line, but I won't stop swimming here
Fires blazing, sirens in the night, things just getting hotter
Two days on the land, for ten months on the water
Awaiting the big wave
I'm waving a kiss to Vancouver

All of the months of wondering why I'm just not good enough
Over the years, under the rug, things just get heavy
Now only a few days after and already
You're drawing a fine line
Now I'm waving goodbye to my city
My lover and my friend
Vancouver, they're tearing us apart

We make it pretty, the way the world sees this city
The way the world sees us from afar
The way we are
The way we're meant to be
It's a different city now
It's a different city
