lyrics

The sun is high in the sky
You can feel its warmth as it
Softly caresses your pale skin

The swaying grass seems
To know something you don’t
The air is foreboding
Something’s up

Open your eyes
As if its the first time

Out on the other coast
The 4 walls that you built
They kept you a little too grounded

You never could get past
The locks and the chains and the mechanical brains
the things that kept you a little too sane

You open your eyes
As if its the first time

Home feels so far away
It’d take 100 years even if you flew all the way
A little voice is whispering that you need to stay

Take a nap on the earth
The way you have plenty of times
in your own town

But since you had to fly a few thousand miles
to get here, sleep never felt so good

Open your eyes
As if its the first time

Home feels so far away
It’d take 100 years even if you flew all the way
A little voice is whispering that you need to stay

The sights and the sounds of California
The sights and the sounds of California
The old you will never see anything again
The sights and the sounds of California
Now you see everything through a new lens
