Someday they’re going to write about us, |
| [00:07.792] |
Living here in the shadow of this gathering dust, |
| [00:10.818] |
As the waves build up and drown the light, |
| [00:13.707] |
While we’re hanging from buildings on a Saturday night. |
| [00:17.504] |
And the words she said |
| [00:19.004] |
I could barely hear over the blare of the speakers and the smell of beer, |
| [00:23.638] |
As she got up to speak, she lifted her dress. |
| [00:26.791] |
I remember her face but I forget the rest. |
| [00:31.408] |
Here in California, I was |
| [00:37.511] |
Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr. |
| [00:43.996] |
Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene, |
| [00:53.636] |
All nightmares and daydreams |
| [00:57.907] |
In California. |
| [01:04.447] |
She said, “I got money, but I got no friends, ” |
| [01:07.347] |
As we drove through the valley in her daddy’s Benz. |
| [01:10.528] |
She said, “These pills wear off, but the pain don’t end. |
| [01:13.610] |
I never thought it would matter so much to pretend.” |
| [01:18.393] |
And the thing about her that haunts me still |
| [01:21.571] |
As her hands fell down to the steering wheel, |
| [01:24.812] |
And a shock of light fell across her face, |
| [01:27.943] |
She said there’s only two ways out of this place. |
| [01:32.557] |
Here in California, I was |
| [01:38.452] |
Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr. |
| [01:45.137] |
Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene, |
| [01:54.930] |
All nightmares and daydreams |
| [01:59.030] |
In California. |
| [02:05.875] |
And oh, I hope it’s clear |
| [02:11.851] |
There’s no room for us anymore in the atmosphere, |
| [02:19.293] |
But darling I always liked the desperation in your eyes, |
| [02:25.038] |
The way you’d dance in the glow of the Hollywood Freeway lights. |
| [02:31.903] |
Someday they’re gonna forget about us |
| [02:34.828] |
And we’ll wonder if we were ever good enough. |
| [02:38.132] |
It hit me last night, in this song I heard, |
| [02:41.125] |
I remember the feeling but forget all the words. |
| [02:47.073] |
Here in California, I was |
| [02:53.324] |
Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr. |
| [03:00.185] |
Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene, |
| [03:10.034] |
All nightmares and daydreams |
| [03:13.924] |
In California. |
| [03:27.208] |
