lyrics

LA JOLLA

I set out on my own to start something that's new so I rummaged the sands of my head for beliefs that I've swallowed. Word by word I dug up things I once heard from you. As if engulfed by a wave, that's how blindly I followed.

But the words that I found they don't really mean a thing. 'Cause it was never the song that my heart was meant to sing.

So now I'm burning up 'cause I can see my mind and how I let you overstay your welcome there this time. And now I'm giving up from holding you up high 'cause all I ever wanted was the wings for us to fly. But you don't make it easy, no you don't make it easy, no you never made it easy to try.
So now I'm burning up 'cause I can see my mind. You won't overstay your welcome this time.

You won't break my spirit down.

In all the ways that I've squeezed my soul so only I could please you. Did I please you? And honestly, never again will I tell myself I need you or I'm beneath you.

I'll pull my own head up from under water.

I'm sick of people telling me that I'm delusional, that I should stop dreaming, (that) the world is fucking terrible. I disagree. In fact, I choose to disbelieve. The world is a mirror, so take a good look at yourself, you see? 'Cause you don't give love when you want it. And you only take what you can from it. And you say there's nothing wrong with that but honestly how much of this will you regret? Honestly, how much of this will you regret?

I'll pull my own head up from under water. I will.
