The window's rattling, a typhoon hit Taipei
I'm anxious and writing, I've been awake for so many days
I've talked with black suits, fast talking cut-up tongues
They want my potential signed away with bleeding arms
I can't stop listening, I wanna make my family proud
But I can't sell to industry 'cause this is something I have to do for myself
(Do for myself)
I'm so scared that I won't reach my potential
I write so many songs I don't think are good enough
It might just be too late to reach my potential
But I won't know, not for sure if I'm in Taipei (if I'm in Taipei)
I love this city, my home on the island in the sun
You are a part of me but it's time for me to move on
Goodbye to my girl, 你知道的,你是我的最爱
I'll go to New York, New York
'Cause it's time to make a change in my life
(Time to make a change in my life)
I'm so scared that I won't reach my potential
I write so many songs I don't think are good enough
It might just be too late to reach my potential
But I won't know, not for sure if I'm in Taipei
Taipei, oh Taipei
Taipei, oh Taipei
All I want is just to reach my potential
I write so many songs I don't think are good enough
It might be too late to reach my potential
But I won't know, not for sure, if I'm in Taipei
我把心留在台北 I left my heart in Taipei
我把心留在台北 I left my heart in Taipei
