I was drowning in my demons
Somewhere miles away from home
I had lost what I believed in
Never free, never alone
So I cruised the barren desert
Watched the night swallow the sun
Back to Northern California
Where disease led me to run
Oh the foothills
They remind me
Just how tiny we must seem
With the city's lights aligning
Glowing far into the sea
Oh my gorgeous San Francisco
Just however could I leave
My best memories behind me
That much closer than they seem
As we rode along the coastline
And the morning turned to day
I had hoped to fight my illness
Slowly burning off the grey
But until I reach my verdict
I'll retire to the bay
Where I'll hide under the thick fog
And for once I'll feel okay
Oh the foothills
They remind me
Just how tiny we must seem
With the city's lights aligning
Glowing far into the sea
Oh my gorgeous San Francisco
Just however could I leave
My best memories behind me
That much closer than they seem
460 miles away
Escaping three years of decay
460 miles away
Escaping three years of decay
