It was the summer I saw my father
for the first time since the last time
I almost died.
You took me out with your aunt and your cousin
for gelato. You spilled a little bit
on your dress.
We sped like lightning over the pavement
while bumping 90's summer hits
with the top down in the wind.
And I felt myself returning
in the city of trees that night.
I can do this all night long,
but I know this isn't where I belong.
Tomorrow, I'll have to move on.
People say we die alone.
So why would I spend all of my time on my own.
Tomorrow, I'm going home.
I'm going home.
And I don't wanna spend the rest of my life afraid
of the moon.
And to hate its cratered face every time I see my reflection
I want to be alright.
And this lake has moments when the waves don't feel as nice,
It's pulling you down.
As we drift along the coast, flailing arms in desperate hope
cause we want to be alright.
And I know that I should probably learn to let shit go.
There's no justice in your word, sympathy is always on your terms
cause you wanna be alright.
