San Francisco
Jane's Party Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I go, I don't want you to miss me
I don't wanna believe that we could have done more
When all we cared for's long been gone
And we both know hearts have got to move on

Feels, like we're on our own
With dreams, we kept for so long
All I ever dream of, is a trip to San Francisco
Driving down the coastline,
smoking cigarettes out my window
All I ever dream of
is a trip to San Francisco
Driving down the coastline
wishing things could be this simple

When I go, you don't have to believe me
You don't have to regret what you couldn't have known
We drowned our hearts so long ago
And what sinks to the bottom
will wash to the shore

Feels, like we're on our own
With dreams, we kept for so long

All I ever dream of
is a trip to San Francisco
Driving down the coastline
smoking cigarettes out my window
All I ever dream of
is a trip to San Francisco Driving down the coastline
wishing things could be this simple





You can go to where your heart is Or You can go to where you know
