[00:20.794] Someday they’re going to write about us,
[00:23.855] Living here in the shadow of this gathering dust,
[00:27.210] As the waves build up and drown the light,
[00:30.265] While we’re hanging from buildings on a Saturday night.
[00:34.011] And the words she said
[00:35.712] I could barely hear over the blare of the speakers and the smell of beer,
[00:40.392] As she got up to speak, she lifted her dress.
[00:43.561] I remember her face but I forget the rest.
[00:48.360] Here in California, I was
[00:54.696] Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr.
[01:01.509] Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene,
[01:11.501] All nightmares and daydreams
[01:16.093] In California.
[01:22.424] She said, “I got money, but I got no friends, ”
[01:25.490] As we drove through the valley in her daddy’s Benz.
[01:28.781] She said, “These pills wear off, but the pain don’t end.
[01:32.058] I never thought it would matter so much to pretend.”
[01:37.095] And the thing about her that haunts me still
[01:40.245] As her hands fell down to the steering wheel,
[01:43.585] And a shock of light fell across her face,
[01:46.903] She said there’s only two ways out of this place.
[01:51.416] Here in California, I was
[01:57.986] Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr.
[02:04.745] Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene,
[02:14.606] All nightmares and daydreams
[02:19.027] In California.
[02:25.958] And oh, I hope it’s clear
[02:32.185] There’s no room for us anymore in the atmosphere,
[02:39.197] But darling I always liked the desperation in your eyes,
[02:45.587] The way you’d dance in the glow of the Hollywood Freeway lights.
[02:52.678] Someday they’re gonna forget about us
[02:55.539] And we’ll wonder if we were ever good enough.
[02:59.150] It hit me last night, in this song I heard,
[03:02.180] I remember the feeling but forget all the words.
[03:08.312] Here in California, I was
[03:14.698] Just a name and a number, a face on a tumblr.
[03:21.321] Here in California, we’re all stuck in the same scene,
[03:31.320] All nightmares and daydreams
[03:35.880] In California.
[03:49.994]
