I travelled so much I forgot how to stay in one place
I smiled and shook hands with new people for so many days
I forgot how to relax my face
I'd entertain
Then move on to the next city
And they always loved me
'Cause they didn't know me really
Every now and then back to school for a couple months
Kids treated me like a guest visiting
So I never really opened up
Felt exotic wherever I'd go
So foreign even home didn't feel like home
It was always just for now
It'd be over in a little while
So it should come as no surprise
I've been afraid to stay
Always throwing away
Things I should be keeping
But I'm hoping you can teach me how
Pe mafai
Pe mafai
Ko koe ko au
Tūmau pea
Pe mafai
Nofo kinei
Ko koe ko au
Nofo kinei
Tūmau pea
There's so many things I can feel in my DNA
All mixed up
And I find it really hard to pick just one
I feel them all at once
But can I stay
And just be here like this
Can I make sense
If I give you some context
