| [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. |
