Five years old
And life had made me shy
I'm telling you
Shikaiya made me feel like I could fly

And there she was so crazy but she was on fire
A smile behind the door
Of every answer to my questions
You made it seem like everything was possible

And that's where you stood out
From everybody else
Shika-ka-aiya, yeah
And that's what you're about
And you should never lose yourself
Shikaiya, yeah

Down the phone
Years and miles apart
We try to find the magic
We used to bounce from heart to heart

But you don't seem to believe in anything today
I wonder if your dreams got smashed
Upon the rocks of Bateau Bay
You made me feel like every wave is beautiful
And that's where you stood out
From everybody else
Shika-ka-aiya, yeah
And that's what you're about
And you should never lose yourself
Shika-ka-aiya, yeah
Shikaiya, yeah

Nothing (Nothing)
Mmm, Shikaiya, yeah

I just want to know what you are thinking about
Thinking about nothing
I just want to know what you are thinking about
Thinking about nothing
I just want to know what you are thinking about
Thinking about nothing

Shika-ka-aiya, yeah
Shikaiya, yeah

And that's what you're about
And you should never lose yourself
Shika-ka-aiya, yeah
Shikaiya, yeah
