Please,
Tell me how it came to be?
Got a California dream,
Only to see,
That the lights fade easily.
No,
I'm surrounded by a world of no,
Find it hard to breathe in slow,
In and out,
When you're riddled with doubt.
Lost your job,
And all you got,
Is just a mattress on the floor,
And not much more,
And all you say is,
"Babe, we'll buy a house someday."
"We'll buy a house someday."
Weave,
In a knot of complexities,
And shadows of uncertainty,
An empty room,
And the curtain's closing soon.
But you,
You always had a way to prove,
That we were gonna make it through,
Another night,
See the morning in a new light.
Find a job,
Make do with what we got,
"And luck was on the way,"
The hopeful say.
We got too many scars,
And keeping count is like numbering stars,
I'm home wherever you are,
When all is pulled away.
Try so hard to disguise,
And tell me "Everything is alright."
The rent's due in the night.
Nowhere to go, but we can't stay.
And all you say is,
"Babe, we'll buy a house someday."
"We'll buy a house someday."
