Anaheim - Live at The Wiltern
[Intro]
"LA, I wrote this song when I was 17 years old"
"In my bedroom in Jakarta"
"And I get to play it to now, at 23"
"At a sold at show at the Wiltern show"
"In Los Angeles California, thank you so much"
"It's all truly all because of you"
[Verse 1]
If I could, I'd freeze this moment, make it my home
You're all I want to want to know
I can tell, you mean it when you kiss me slow
But please, don't ask me, the answer's no
In a perfect world, I'd kill to love you the loudest
But all I do is live to hurt you soundless
Say, "You see I'm lying, babe" and let this go
I can never promise you tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause I have yet to learn
How not to be his
This city will surеly burn
If we keep this as it is
[Chorus 1]
But I'd give anything to stop time
And drivе around Anaheim at sundown
To teach my mind to put you first
Here you are, a hero
You wanna be my new home
But baby, let up, I won't ever recognize these roads
'Cause I am lost, but not in you
Yes, I am lost, but not in you
[Verse 2]
I could spend my days studying your laugh's melody
And I can't live with myself 'cause I know you'd die for me
Oh, all I ask of you is please don't sleep
On this bed of promises I can't keep
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I have yet to know
How to be mine
You can try to unearth this soul
I swear you'll hate what you find
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh)
[Chorus 2]
But I'd give anything to stop time
Commit to you and not crimes against the truth
And lose sight of every divide threatening to undo this story
But baby, I'm so sorry
I don't think that I'll ever memorize this route
'Cause I am lost, but not in you
Yes, I am lost, but not in you
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Outro]
(I love you NIKI)
"I love you too"
"Alright this is my little piano moment"
"Um, have you guys every seen this movie 'Everything everywhere all at once'? (Yes), um, iconic
"Seeing that movie really, (chuckles) made me understand that I am a little bit obsessed with concept of the multiverse"
"And, sorta just this idea, that uh, there's a life out there you've never really live"
"Um, so I wrote a song about that and it's called 'The Apartment We Won't Share'"
