I dreamed about that house again
Where we had our time
A year, no more, we laughed and fought
And otherwise entwined
The Pacific on one side and traffic on the other
Four little rooms for all of our clutter
It was like so many things from my past
Built on the cheap, not meant to last
Don't know why I left you
Probably over something small
And one day my bags were in the hall
"Shall I leave my key?"
You said, no need
You ploughed through quite a crowd
Before you found yourself a wife
You bought a house in a canyon
And brought three sons to life
I thought of you as a sell-out and a bit of a fool
I pictured you with a belly, skimming snakes from the pool
I needed to shake off every mistake of my past
I was reaching for the moon, traveling fast.
Why did you leave her, was it for something small?
I wondered, should I give him a call?
Where would it lead?
Told myself, no need.
90465 Pacific Coast Highway
Feet in the sand and faces to the sky rays
Surf foaming in, cars pulling out
Salt in the wind, hearts turn about
In a day...
I've bought a house above a bay
With a postage stamp lawn
I'm unpacking all my boxes
When I hear that you are gone
I sit alone to cry 'cause all of a sudden I know
You were something small inside me that I never let grow
Now my love is spilling out of me, nowhere to go
And it's filling four rooms and the ocean below
You've left me behind in this house of hunger and fire
To toil and spin, while you?re in
That place of no desire
And no need
90465 Pacific Coast Highway
Feet in the sand and faces to the sky rays
Surf foaming in, cars pulling out
Salt in the wind, hearts turn about
In a day...
In a day...
