[verse 1]
I've never been to santa barbara
But i feel like i have in my mind
Remember you were gonna fight the traffic
Along the 405 each night
Seems like all of those dreams have been wasted
Drowning in cherry wine
Baby, heartbreak has never tasted
So bitter as it does tonight
Lately i can't handle the news
Everything on tv, it's all too real
Lately i can't look up at the moon
Because somewhere far away i know you're
Looking at it, too
Remember, we couldn't wait for the future
To be how we imagined, i told you
Dear, i cannot wait any longer
And you were planning on moving to california
Funny how time slips away
And you find you've moved on
Some of us are still trying to get there
Some of us still cry when that song comes on
Lately i can't handle the news
Everything on tv, it's all too real
Lately i can't look up at the moon
Because somewhere far away i know you're
Looking at it, too
And i know it's been a while
But do you ever hear me when the rain sits still
Or is that just me reminiscing
Trying to get my fill
Yeah, i eat and i still ain't full
Wear shades but i still ain't cool
So what i gotta do
What i gotta do
What i gotta do
To get back, to get back, to get back
To you
I've never been to santa barbara
But maybe one day i'll meet you there
We can start this whole thing over
Just to end up right back here
