Story Behind The Song

Moved to California for a girl, got there, hated it, hated her, came back.

Song Description

The song about how California represents dreams and ambitions to everyone in this country but once you get there you just see self-indulgent drug abusers, homelessness, and all of the depressing reality that's under the beautiful contrast of the rich Bel Air and Malibuites.

Lyrics

MAYBE I SHOULD SAY FUCK CALIFORNIA
AND MAYBE I SHOULD SAY FORGET L.A.
AND MAYBE, MOST IMPORTANTLY
I SHOULD SAY FUCK YOU ALL
AND THROW THIS LIFE AWAY

I have had dreams, they?ve never come true
I fell into love, it had to be with you
Someone who reminds me how scared I am
But someone who reminds me just how sure I am

CHORUS

Don?t want to leave home, it?s where I?ve grown
But I?m sick of the same roads
They can?t take me where I want to go
They can?t take me where I need to go

CHORUS

And I don?t, I don?t feel as though you really know me, know me
And I doubt very sincerely that you could show me show me
And I don?t feel like what I?m thinking has much depth
I can?t take just one more step
I?m out of breath

CHORUS SOFT

Maybe I won?t get to live my dreams
Maybe life isn?t always what it seems
Maybe I?ll settle for a life that?ll do
And fall in love with someone who?s not you

CHORUS

I have had dreams, they?ve never come true
I fell into love
It has to be with you
