NIKI – High School in Jakarta

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 Zoey on your vespa
It was orange from three percent peroxide, thanks to you
I needed a good cry, I headed straight to Kendra’s
I hated you and I hoped to God that you knew now
Now it’s drama (Drama), found a club for that
Where I met ya (Met ya), had a heart attack
Yada yada
At the end, yeah, we burned
Made a couple u-turns, you werе with ‘til you weren’t

Chorus

High School in Jakarta, sort of modern Sparta
Had no chancе against the teenage suburban armadas
We were wishin’ nada, makes it tight like fathers yellin’
And that was hard, but I loved you harder
High School in Jakarta, an elaborate saga
I still hate you for makin’ me wish I came out smarter
Do you hate your mother? So do I
Could’ve ended different then
If we didn’t went to High School in Jakarta

Verse 2

Got a group assignment, I’ll be in first 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
I wasn’t, she doesn’t even drink
But I couldn’t have you sat there and think that you’re better
‘Cause you’re older
Are you better now that we’re older?

Chorus

High School in Jakarta, sort of modern Sparta
Had no chance against the teenage suburban armadas
We were wishin’ nada, makes it tight like fathers yellin’
And that was hard, but I loved you harder
High School in Jakarta, a comedy drama
I still hate you for makin’ me wish I came out smarter
Do you hate your mother? So do I
Could’ve ended different then
Again we went to High School in Jakarta

Natasha’s movin’ to New York (New York)
Probably some time in August
And I’m spendin’ the Summer in Singapore
I’m so sad, I can’t tell you shit anymore
I made friends with Abby this year
We’re movin’ in, in March or so
And although you bring me to tears
I’m glad that we gave it a go

Chorus

High School in Jakarta, American
?

Had no chance against the Marks who screened with marijuana
I was your piñata, she was just tryna
?

Glad she gave it to you hard, but I loved you harder
High School in Jakarta, I won’t, but I wanna
Ask you when you talk about, do I ever come up?
Say things to your mama, now we’re through
Could’ve ended different then
If we didn’t went to High School in Jakarta
