Returning to Singapore has found me face to face with my past. Daryl, Dawn and Joshua, each holding a hint of yesterday meeting to find me today. It dawned on me that up till the age of 22, I had been rushing forward, straining to find my prize. Then suddenly I stopped, turned around and stared into the darkness that was my loss. This summer my past came back to meet me. A surprise visit, and run in at Pervis.

I'm 17 again, and I'm doing 17 better.
What I thought that I had lost has graciously found me again, in a different way.

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on
And you're not coming back

Bleachin' your teeth, smiling flash
Talking trash, under my window

Park that car
Drop that phone
Sleep on the floor
Dream about me

Used to be the one of the rotten ones
And I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on
And you're not coming back
