You're bathing in the sun
Your concrete soaks it up
Wasting every precious thing that you were ever givenYou're reaching out to far
Sit screaming in your car
No matter where you are you feel strandedGleaming in your reflection
Lights up your indiscretions
How many times have you swore you'd change
Winds shift and the future sways
Surfs up for warmer days
Can't you see what's all at stake
California
My Angel City
Tell me where did you go so wrong
Your skies painted crimson
The hills are all burning
This can only go for so longPaved away the green
This unforgiving scene
There's nothing left to clear the air of all this madness
I tried to run away
And dive into the sea
But my neck got pulled back
It was tied to your tree
So I climbed to the top
It was the only air up there left to breatheMoving forward on a line
Through space and thought and time
Wondering how on earth we ever have made it this far
