[00:05.116] 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]
