lyrics

Did you fold when you realized
You weren't getting to the moon
You think you missed your only chance
I think you gave up too soon

Did they say that they missed you
And they hoped you'd be ok
Well I'm stuck here watching re-runs
Teen shows set in Cal-i-forn-i-a

They say the road goes on forever
They say the party never ends
Well the parties ended for me a couple of times
And I'm searching for my friends

I love this little island
Where I come from
I love the places that I've been to
I love knowing where to run

And I loved the way you loved me
When you said that you'd be mine
And we didn't wipe the road dirt off
We made it out just fine

I remember two whole evenings
We played rock salt n nails
And you didn't put your makeup on
That was perfectly ok

You thought that I was crazy
When I said I was going away
You said you are truly incapable of finding
A place to forever stay

I've got a place to forever stay
I've got a place to forever stay
