LA to San Francisco
Trying hard not to let the wind blow
Apart the seams of my denim jacket
Stop for gas, I'm writing down the
Things to ask when you wake up
So I could daydream
What your answers will be
"I don't think I've ever felt anything quite like this"
You will never know how much loving you has made me love me more
I'm sure you'll see that a better you is a better me
Til then you'll sleep, letting water roll off the windshield
Came to fear like everybody did
Til I got that high school first love nervous
You said you felt it too
You'll find I want all kinds of things
Most of them contradictory
Like becoming a titan of industry
So I can spend my life quietly
"I don't think I've ever felt anything quite like this"
You will never know how much loving you has made me love me more
I'm sure you'll see that a better you is a better me
Til then you'll sleep, letting water roll off the windshield
We walk along these foggy streets of a beautiful city
I prefer sunshine but you would miss me
So I'm fine with this for a year or two
Cause I know you. I know it's worth it to see it through
So I said
"I don't think I've ever felt anything quite like this"
You will never know how much loving you has made me love me more
I'm sure you'll see that a better you is a better me
Til then you'll sleep, letting water roll off the windshield
