South Coast Plaza
The Julie Ruin Lyrics

we lay in an empty tree house
We lay in an empty tree house, probably high and drunk, in Orange County talking and bonding with each other.

I'm not sure what drugs we were fucked up on at the time but we were laying next to each other in an empty tree house in your backyard in Orange County talking shit, smoking cigarettes, drinking California Coolers we were
We were under the influence of unknown drugs, lying next to each other in an empty tree house at your house in Orange County, chatting, smoking, and drinking.

gone gone gone
We were completely out of it, beyond all senses and perceptions of reality.

gone beyond all sense
Our state of intoxication was so extreme that we were completely disconnected from the outside world and our senses.

we were looking
We were observing the surroundings without really seeing them, lost in our own thoughts and feelings.

we were squinting at the sun as it came streaming through the slats
We were staring at the sun, partially shielded by the wood slats of the tree house, straining our eyes to see it clearly.

and you reached your fingers out for mine
You reached out and held my hand, creating a physical connection between us.

I don't know what we were feeling at the time but it was summer
I can't quite describe our emotions and mindset then, but I know it was during the summer season.

we held onto the floor
We were holding onto the treehouse floor for stability and anchoring ourselves to reality.

spinning out into the air
We were losing ourselves in our thoughts and senses, drifting away from reality.

we knew the world was ours
In our state of mind, we felt invincible and that the world belonged to us.

we lay in an empty tree house in that backyard in Orange County and we made the kind of pact that you just never think you never think you'll have to keep we laughed even as we made it and then we moved on and started talking about gym class gossip
We made a promise to each other in the treehouse that we never dreamt we would have to fulfill, and we laughed and joked about it before moving on to other topics such as gym class gossip.

we were fucked up
We were extremely inebriated.

fucked up beyond belief
Our level of intoxication was beyond comprehension, and we were completely detached from reality.

then we got bored and we drove around for awhile
We got bored of staying in the treehouse and decided to go for a drive.

went to South Coast Plaza and had a taco
We went to South Coast Plaza and had some food, probably a taco.

and some ice cream
We also had some ice cream, enjoying the summer treats in our state of mind.

and then we passed out in the car
We got so exhausted from the day's events that we fell asleep in the car.

but it was summer pretty sure it was summertime
I still remember that it was during summer, most likely the season of the year.

and it went spinning through the air we thought the world was ours
Our minds were lost in our thoughts and senses, and we felt like the world was ours and anything was possible.

I know you already know this, buddy but I didn't want to have to do it but that pillow and your aching were bound together and they collided in that tree house in Orange County and we had known each other far too long and we had known each other far too well and I thought we'd grow old together laughing, squinting at the sun and so you know I'll never fucking go back to Orange County and you know I'll fucking never go back to South Coast Plaza and I'll never fucking let you slip my mind
You might know this already, my friend, but I must confess that I cannot forget the memories of that Orange County treehouse and how our relationship changed because of it. We knew each other too well and had grown up together, and I thought we'd be lifelong friends, always enjoying life's simple pleasures together. However, memories of South Coast Plaza and that pillow incident tainted our memories so much that I refuse to revisit those places and forget our bond.

we didn't know it at the time
We were oblivious to the consequences of our actions and choices, only living in the moment.

it was spinning us apart
Our state of intoxication and carefree behavior would eventually lead to the drifting apart of our friendship and connection.
