~~LYRICS:~~
I bought a new life for $1.25 and some sunglasses too.
It isn't easy growing up here. But don't take my advice.
I'm not the best with words. And I can't read minds anymore.
The traffic in this town is really pissing me off.
The people here don't ever like to sing in their cars.
They just turn their radios up to drown out their thoughts.
California sunshine and Tennessee rain.
I'm an East Coast kid with a West Coast way.
And I don't mind the weather but I hate the way it has to change.
Making out to mixtapes with Limbeck, Katrina and The Waves.
Did I mention how I used to hate that song.
Before I met that girl that was in love with The Beatles.
California girls wear their sunglasses at night.
Turns outs that Tom was right.
All the vampires hangout on Ventura Boulevard.
Uptown girls like to go down on the boys.
That pretend they don't listen to the radio.
The people inside hate the people outside.
And the people outside are too drunk to care.
Yeah the people outside are too drunk to care.
I kinda like it when you don't remember my name.
I'm just another face to forget.
Hey what time did you say that the end is coming?
I'm not sure if I'm ready yet. California sunshine and Tennessee rain.
I'm an East Coast kid with a West Coast way.
And I don't mind the weather but I hate the way it has to change.
Making out to mixtapes with Limbeck, Katrina and The Waves.
Did I mention how I used to hate that song.
Before I met that girl that was in love with The Beatles.
And did I mention that sometimes I'm not right?
