California
(专辑: Songs Of God And Whiskey - 2015)
Someday they're going to write about us, living here in the
shadow of this gathering dust, As the
waves build up and drown the
light, while we're hanging from buildings on a
Saturday night. And the
words she said… I
could barely hear over the
blare of the
speakers and the
smell of beer, As she got up to speak, she lifted her dress. I
remember her face but I
forget the
rest. Here in California, I
was Just a
name and a
number, a
face on a
tumblr. Here in California, we're all stuck in the
same scene, All nightmares and daydreams In California. She said, “I got money, but I
got no friends,” as we drove through the
valley in her daddy's Benz. She said, “These pills wear off, but the
pain don't end. I
never thought it would matter so much to pretend.” And the
thing about her that haunts me still: as her hands fell down to the
steering wheel, And a
shock of light fell across her face, she said there's only two ways out of this place. Here in California, I
was Just a
name and a
number, a
face on a
tumblr. Here in California, we're all stuck in the
same scene, All nightmares and daydreams In California. And oh, I
hope it's clear: there's no room for us anymore in the
atmosphere, But darling I
always liked the
desperation in your eyes, The
way you'd dance in the
glow of the
Hollywood Freeway lights. Someday they're gonna forget about us and we'll wonder if we were ever good enough. It hit me last night, in this song I
heard, I
remember the
feeling but forget all the
words. Here in California, I
was Just a
name and a
number, a
face on a
tumblr. Here in California, we're all stuck in the
same scene, All nightmares and daydreams In California.
