lyrics

I woke up missing you so bad you’ll never know
So I jumped the big 2 bus to Will Rogers beach
Then back around, and Downtown to Skid Row

One more lost passenger caught by the Siren’s song
Strung out on promises, with ankles tied to what will be
Now what could be is gone.

One of these days…
I’ll come home, anxiety free and in your zone again.
Home, gonna get there in the end.
Home, where I know the streets, where it rains in sheets at the door.
Home, gonna stay in you for sure.
That’s a lie of course.

There’s no Pioneer chicken stand on Alvarado street no more
Echo Park holds Farmers markets
And cleaned up streets see families
Prod organic fruit to score.

It looks like Avenue C and it feels a lot like home
And while you’re not here with me
I know for sure you’d love it here
And I feel a lot less alone.

But one of these days…
I’ll come home, anxiety free and in your zone again.
Home, gonna get there in the end.
Home, where I know the streets, where it rains in sheets at the door.
Home, gonna stay in you for sure.
That’s a lie of course.
