Where am I from if I'm not from here?
Years of debris make it all unclear
Maybe there's no use fighting it
But I've called it home since '96
So am I stuck living on frontiers?
I flipped through the photos
When time moved in slow-mo
But I don't see nothing
Reliving the moment
Distorted by motion
But I don't see nothing
I know I was born my mother's son
So why did I reject my mother tongue?
I wish I could retrace the steps, I'd run
To be closer to you, mama
Closer to you, ma'

(Why did I reject my mother tongue?)

You say you love me, but I've gone deaf
It's something to say when there's nothing left
When all of the weight falls into my hands
I'll drown in the ocean between two lands
I'd say goodbye, but I'm out of breath
I flipped through the photos
When time moved in slow-mo
But I don't see nothing (but I don't see nothing)
Reliving the moment
Distorted by motion
But I don't see nothing (but I don't see nothing)
I know I was born my mother's son
So why did I reject my mother tongue?
I wish I could retrace the steps, I'd run
To be closer to you, mama
Closer to you, ma'
Hoo-ooh, hoo
(Hoo-ooh, hoo)
(Why did I reject my mother tongue?)
I know I was born my mother's son
So why did I reject my mother tongue?
I wish I could retrace the steps, I'd run
To be closer to you, mama
Closer to you, ma'
