"Switchblade" Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
This is looking like I might just wanna stay
Can’t remember much about yesterday
Ground is glowing, I’m slowing my stride with every step
(Take a good look at it girl, take a good look at this world, ah)
Electric rivers flow by the silhouette trees
We skinny dip and soak in all of our past dreams
And all my new friends dazzle like they’re royals
(Take a good look at it girl, take a good look at this world, ah)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What is this place?
The skies are vast and no one’s a familiar face but I’m not afraid...

[Chorus]
Kinda feeling brave!
The winds of change have nothing on this switchblade faith
I’ll take it to my grave
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
The night is young and it’s wild
I’m running free like a child
on the crown of a mountain and I could keep goin’ for miles
I don’t know what’s coming next
I feel a buzz in my legs
But heaven knows that I’m quick on my feet and
good with a blade and some old-fashioned faith in a place like this

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Feeling bulletproof and far from faces I don’t miss
So many brand new risks to take

[Chorus]
And I’m feeling brave!
The winds of change have nothing on this switchblade faith
I’ll take it to my grave
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Outro (x2)]
Lining’s silver Grass is greener And I’m on my way
Brightest flicker Ain’t no quitter I’ll be here to stay
Lining’s silver
Grass is greener
And I’m not afraid
Cause I’m running with a switchblade

[leivanter]

we can all agree that NIKI is the queen of versatility

[kncd]

It's like she's covering her own song and making it better than the original. I stan the right artist, then. ✨❤️

[lucyh.]

ok NO CAP my baby NIKI's versatility in music is mind-bending; she can make anything sound effortlessly beautiful she doesn't have ONE bad song not ONE

[odessazhang]

LITERALLY GOT CHILLS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE THING WE ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF A QUEEN

[DonnyJ]

I'm always in awe of how talented Niki is. She's a big inspiration for an Asian artist like myself.

[yvesbite]

It actually disappoints me and triggers me how underrated this talented girl is. She deserves so much recognition and it needs to be shown to the world 🥺😔❤️💖

[amirashofia]

It's just one song but she could make it so different, literally the queen of versatility

[azhiddleston]

jacob ray literally being the boyfriend of the year, supporting his queen in every acoustic sessions and the making of her magnificent album...talking about a power couple ❤️

[chikalist]

it's about her moving on from jakarta leaving all her familiar faces to USA. little girl vs big world. nothing sounds easy but there she goes, a moonchild with a switchblade 🗡️🌙✨

[katpizo]

whenever niki does a live version of her song, u already know its gonna sound magical 🦋🌙🤧

[JINXSPR]

_beautiful_ ... *well done* on the show #ASIARISINGFOREVER 🎶🎶

[jaharablanco]

this song speaks so much to me. i remember leaving my high school hometown. HS wasn’t that good for me. I went to a university far away & started my new life. change can be scary but you need it to grow. i am just happy to know that people can listen to this as they move forward to the new chapters of their lives and will not be afraid. They will be encouraged to take risks & believe more in themselves.

[tgurl]

Is there a love button that I can press?!?! Damn, her vocal is stellar.

[katpizo]

ya’ll i already knew my ears were gonna be blessed when i saw niki sitting in that stool with the purple lighting and piano looking all angelic and shit

This is looking like I might just wanna stay
Can't remember much about yesterday
Ground is glowing, I'm slowing my stride with every step
(Take a good look at it girl, take a good look at this world, ah)

Electric rivers flow by the silhouette trees
We skinny dip and soak in all of our past dreams
And all my new friends dazzle like they're royals
(Take a good look at it girl, take a good look at this world, ah)

What is this place?
The skies are vast and no one's a familiar face
But I'm not afraid

Kinda feeling brave
The winds of change have nothing on this switchblade faith
I'll take it to my grave
Ooh, ooh, ooh

The night is young and it's wild
I'm running free like a child
On the crown of a mountain and I could keep goin' for miles
I don't know what's coming next, I feel a buzz in my legs
But heaven knows that I'm quick on my feet and
Good with a blade and some old-fashioned faith in a place like this

Feeling bulletproof and far from faces I don't miss
So many brand new risks to take

And I'm feeling brave
The winds of change have nothing on this switchblade faith
I'll take it to my grave
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Lining silver, grass is greener and I'm on my way
Brightest flicker, ain't no quitter I'll be here to stay
Lining silver, grass is greener and I'm not afraid
'Cause I'm running with a switchblade

Lining silver, grass is greener and I'm on my way
Brightest flicker, ain't no quitter, I'll be here to stay
Lining silver, grass is greener and I'm not afraid
'Cause I'm running with a switchblade

[Vincent-Vega]

get a bucket of water cause this girl is on

[lumiereu]

She's one of the artists in our generation that exceeds my expectation when it comes to live performance. Her voice sounds ❤️

BRING HEAD IN THE CLOUDS TO PH, PLEASE (Once the pandemic is over, of course).

[forthefickle]

no offense but niki's literally the most amazing person in this planet
