Lyrics
[Verse 1] Someday they're gonna write about us Living here in the shadow of this gathering dust As the waves build up and drown the light While we're hanging from buildings on a Saturday night And the words she said, I could barely hear Over the blare of the speakers and the smell of beer As she got up to speak, she lifted her dress I remember her face, but I forget the rest [Chorus] Here in California, I was Just a name and a number A face on a tumblr Here in California, we're all Stuck in the same scene All nightmares and daydreams In California [Verse 2] She said, "I got money, but I got no friends" As we drove through the Valley in her daddy's Benz She said, "These pills wear off, but the pain don't end I never thought it would matter so much to pretend" And the thing about her that haunts me still As her hands fell down to the steering wheel And a shock of light fell across her face She said, "There's only two ways out of this place" [Chorus] Here in California, I was Just a name and a number A face on a tumblr Here in California, we're all Stuck in the same scene All nightmares and daydreams In California [Bridge] And oh, I hope it's clear There's no room for us anymore in the atmosphere But darling, I always liked The desperation in your eyes The way you'd dance in the glow Of the Hollywood Freeway lights [Breakdown] Someday they're gonna forget about us And we'll wonder if we were ever good enough It hit me last night in this song I heard I remember the feeling but forget all the words [Chorus] Here in California, I was Just a name and a number A face on a tumblr Here in California, we're all Stuck in the same scene All nightmares and daydreams In California [Outro] In California
