You got lost for a while
You’ve been trying to find a smile
You got stood up, then you fell down
When you needed, there was no one ’round

You love the previews and hate the movies
Scream at the screen, “Something move me!”
Before you start to fade away

Give me all your fear,
Throw it all away
And think about the good things,
No matter what they say
We’ll take tomorrow, baby, yeah
One day at a time

You just stare in space
You found love but it got erased
You’re on the road with all the stoplights
And you’re too afraid to turn the wrong from right

You ate your soul and it made you fat
Starve yourself from everything else
That makes you completely full

So give me all your fear,
Throw it all away
And think about the good things,
No matter what they say
We’ll take tomorrow, baby, yeah
One day at a time

So you run, so you hide
Then you watched as they died
They all fell, you could fall too
Or you could sew your wings
And try to fly right through

So give me all your fear,
Throw it all away
Think about the good things,
No matter what they say
We’ll take tomorrow, baby, yeah
One day at a time
One day at a time

So at last, southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I’ve been dreaming about it for days
But I don’t ask why

I can feel it in my bones
It’s a careless season,
It started just the other day
And what’d you expect
That just for no reason
I packed it in and drove away
Now I don’t mean to pin this one on you, darlin’
It’s time I found something good
When it comes right down
You’re just one of many people that never really understood

So at last, southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I’ve been dreaming about it for days
But I don’t ask why

As I drove into a city painted on the desert
With everthing 10 miles high
Hard to believe that nobody will see
What I see through my blood shot eyes
Now I don’t mean to sound so young and naive
But I think we’ve found something good,
And now I can feel me leaving who I used to be
As we’re driving into Hollywood

So at last, southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I’ve been dreaming about it for days
But I don’t ask why
So at last, southern California
Sun sets enough to get by
I’ve been dreaming about it for days
And now I know why

I can feel it in my bones
I’m a careless season, it started when I woke today
And now that I’m here
It’s all so very clear
The reason that I drove away
Now I don’t mean to call so early now, darlin’
But the waves just feel so good
And I’ll always come around
And watch the sun go down
Just like you knew I would

So at last, southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I’ve been dreaming about it for days
But I don’t ask why
So at last, southern California
Sun sets enough to get by
I’ve been dreaming about it for days
And now I know why

You say hello, inside I’m screaming “I love you”
You say goodnight, in my mind
I’m sleeping next to you.
You drive away from my car crash of a heart
And I don’t know…

But you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain’t so bad
I just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you

You talk to him, and it burns me like the sun
You talk to her, you that say that you feel
Like he’s the one
I talk to me, but you can’t hear the pain I feel
And you don’t know..

‘Cause you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the sad songs ain’t so sad
I only wish that there was more than that
About me and you
About me and you

Oh, don’t turn around and say bye again
Yeah it crushes my head when you call me your friend
And I’m not the same person from back in the day
in the back of the class that you thought was gay
No I can’t find the words
‘Cause I lost them the minute
They fell out my mouth
And it’s love and I’m in it,
So give me your lips
And just let me kiss ’em
And let’s get messed up and listen to

Probably the best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain’t so bad
Just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
