One Way Ticket

by jean-lin

You bought an one way ticket when you were young You thought it'd be a good trip You thought you'd never be homesick Everything out there is fresh Everything out there is sparkling Even the moon looks bigger All is fine Until one day You find the food back home was made for your stomach the water back home tasted sweeter the air back home suited your lung perfectly And you starts to realize the moon back home were actually brighter So you buy an one way ticket again to come home

Notes

There is a saying that goes: "The foreign moon looks rounder than the one does at home," in Taiwan. It''s a perfect demonstration of some kind of complex that lots of our people have, that we are,as a whole country, lack of confidence of ourselves. What caused this complex is actually complex so I won't explain it here. Sorry for the repetition.XD
