I bought a new life for $1.25 and some sunglasses too

It isn't easy growing up here

But don't take my advice I'm not the best with words

And I can't read minds anymore

The traffic in this town is really pissing me off

The people here don't ever like to sing in their cars

They just turn their radios up to drown out their thoughts

California sunshine and Tennessee rain

I'm an East Coast kid with a West Coast way

And I don't mind the weather but I hate the way it has to change

Making out to mixtapes with Limbeck,

Katrina and The Waves

Did I mention how I used to hate that song

Before I met that girl that was in love with The Beatles

California girls wear their sunglasses at night Turns outs that Tom was right

All the vampires hangout on Ventura

Boulevard Uptown girls like to go down on the boys

That pretend they don't listen to the radio

The people inside hate the people outside

And the people outside are too drunk to

care Yeah the people outside are too drunk to

care I kinda like it when you don't remember my name

I'm just another face to forget

Hey what time did you say that the end is coming?

I'm not sure if I'm ready yet California sunshine and Tennessee rain

I'm an East Coast kid with a West Coast way

And I don't mind the weather but I hate the way it has to change

Making out to mixtapes with Limbeck,

Katrina and The Waves Did I mention how I used to hate that song

Before I met that girl that was in love with The

Beatles And did I mention that sometimes I'm not right?
