about

An ode to Vancouver, where I live. I've been feeling the weight of how expensive the city is, how hard it is to live here. Lots of my friends are moving away, and I wanted to reminisce about first falling in love with the city. Asking it to convince me to stay.

lyrics

Always remember
Bright-eyed defender
I was still chasing you
Fall down the staircase
Part time and blind faith
Questions we both outgrew

Vancouver, do you bleed?
Cast iron sunlight running down your sleeves
All of this time we said
Tied to your waters, hanging by a thread

I was weighing options
Warming to the caution
Making up for misplaced time
Walking in your hallways
Sleeping in your enclaves
Wandering upon your spine

If you say to go then I will go
If you want to keep me I’ll stay home

Vancouver, do you know?
Rain in the eavestroughs weighing on us all
Sailor of many seas
Gray as a moonstone, taller than the trees

Vancouver, do you bleed?
Cast iron sunlight running down your sleeves
All of this time we said
Tied to your waters, leaving us for dead

Glass on the sidewalk, cut our feet
Prone to escape but never leave

Always remember
Bright-eyed defender
I am still chasing you
