Lyrics

We grew up on a simple street
not the best, not the worst

the only thing
we knew
was the trade
is true it's the glue
that keeps me hanging on

You left me with the feeling you'd be back
I hope you recognize me then
I've never figured out your reticence
I don't care about it now

you're headed to southern cal
san diego or bust

but in LA
you get
caught up with
the scene
and your special gift
that keeps the world turning

I don't care about your innocence
its gone the moment it arrives
I'll never figure out your reticence
I still think about it now

we
used to stare
at the interstate
watching the trucks
and the bridge shake
counting california plates
predicting earthquakes
letting something in
a seed that found
the sun shining down

I knew you wouldn't come running back
I hope I recognize you when
I've never figured out your reticence
I don't care about
I still think about
I don't care about it now
