We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
All the moments dotted on the map
Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
But not with us intact
We've all taken flight. Leave our friends behind.
Not that they'd understand
A pledge we recite, nothing can deny
Our lives in the van
Is it delusion, or maybe a sign? Only to be told with time
We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
All the moments dotted on the map
Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
But not with us intact
With the steps missed, not the taken
Like the rest, fix what they're breaking
Just to prove much better when you're gone
Where'd we go wrong, was the plan right?
Now we know, and through our hindsight, our light continues shining on
Is it delusion, or maybe a sign? Only to be told with time
We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
All the moments dotted on the map
Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
But not with us intact
Through the window the light is on, pressed against the wall, it's on
When it feels like every day, life can't get out of our way
We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
All the moments dotted on the map
Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
But not with us intact
We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
All the moments dotted on the map
Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
But not with us intact
