Hello, it’s me
I was wondering if after all these weeks you’d like to read
To go over everything
They say that 23 is gonna teach ya
Boy I done much learning
Hello, can you hear me
I’m in Ottawa dreaming about how Lao used to be
When I was younger and carefree
I’ve forgotten how it felt before Canada fell at my feet
There’s such a difference between these lives
And a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must have thought a thousand times
To hop on another plane
But when I think of leaving I can’t do it
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’m learning
To see life differently, accept a new start
But it don’t matter my mind is clearly at war
Hello, how are you?
It’s so typical of me to leave I’m sorry
I hope I’ll be well
Did you ever think you’d find me at a desk in Ottawa
It’s no secret that my web usage
Is all about flights
So hello from the other side
I must have moved a thousand times
But this time I’m staying put for a little while
And when I call it won’t be long distance
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’ve signed
A lease so don’t worry I won’t dart
But it don’t matter it clearly will take more than that
Ooooohh, Ecuador
Ooooohh, Singapore
Ooooohh, Labrador
Anywhere
Hello from the other side
I must have hauled a thousand signs
That led me to this side of the sun
But it’s ok my memories are a book of delight
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I’m happy
To tell you I’ve started a new chapter
And it does matter I’m staying ashore

I’ve been MIA from the blog for a few weeks but don’t worry- life update coming soon!
Don’t worry about the tone of my Adele cover- I am happy and optimistic about the future. It’s just hard to write a happy Adele song amiright?
