Under California Skies

Soundtrack “My Funny Valentine” by Chris Botti.

Sitting here, waiting on the sky to snow

This town looks better dressed in white

Your footprints from my door to your car

I stare from my window

Red taillights fading into your city of gray

You said you couldn’t figure me out

I said, I know what you mean

Cause, I can’t figure me out either

Bless the losers and the beginners 

January’s the coldest month of winter

Don’t let the resolutions for the New Year fool you

I’m full of love and rage

Oh such a fine line

I’m in hate with myself 

Look what you’ve done to me

I want to find me a new city

Where winter never comes

Maybe go west under California skies

Sit on cliffs and feel the warmth of July’s sun

Bless the losers and the beginners 

January’s the coldest month of winter

Don’t let the resolutions for the New Year fool you

Soundtrack Of You

Soundtrack “It’s Not Like You” by Paper Kites.

    We walked those old city streets like we owned them

    Warm breath turning into clouds of white

    Walking back to your tiny apartment

    Ellis street dark, we once found love here

    You take your coat off

    The sounds of the city, from open windows

    You ask if I wanna know you

    You play me your play list

    Every song reminds me of you

    Is this still the soundtrack of you

    I asked you to leave this town with me

    You stared out the window, into dying stars

    You say nothing, another silent no

    It’s so hard to move on, knowing you moved on

    I hate this city

    I’m so tired of everything

    That old apartment always drafty and cold

    Impatient traffic rolling off to distant places

    I now avoid Ellis street

    Strangers spying from broken blinds

    God, this is all killing me

    Do you ever think of Ellis street

    Was it a dream we once lived in

    I wish we’d moved out to the country

    In the past, there’s no new beginnings

    I’m homesick, wishing away my past

    You say nothing, another silent no

    It’s so hard to move on, knowing you moved on
