Joywave - Golden State Lyrics






I watched the sun come up over LAX,
I watched the hills pour east through the plains of Texas,
I cleansed myself and wiped my memory.

I watched the coast pull close in a western bay,
I saw the desert sky in the pouring rain,
So I washed myself and wished you’d do the same.

Oh I’m not gonna turn around and tell you “Oh now I miss you babe”.
And you’re never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate

I watched the moon stand up to the Rio Grande,
I watched myself rise up from beneath the sand and
I knew, that I was here to stay

Maybe my head,
is clouding up my brain,
but I think it’s for the best for you to get on your way.

‘Cause you’re not gonna turn around and tell me “Oh now I miss you babe.”
And you’re never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
Oh I’m never going to lie and say without you here it’s just not the same
‘Cause your love has been built on skin and bone, was meant to see, meant to see

Oh I’m not gonna turn around and tell you “Oh now I miss you babe”.
And you’re never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
Oh I’m never going to lie and say without you here it’s just not the same
‘Cause your love has been built on skin and bone, was meant to see.
