James Vincent McMorrow - Rent California Lyrics

I never noticed
How the water broke at the surface
Water that's the color of orange blossom
From all the plates stood around the sink

We rent California
We could make it summer to summer
Without setting foot in that woollen sea
No one tells you it's freezing
Nothing here feels safe

I could show you anything
House in Venice Beach where you took off your dress
You could show me anything
Color of a page lit like a cigarette

'Cause if time is so temporary
Then let's not wait so long
Let's become the thing
We said
We want

And on the beaches they talk about God a lot
Talk about their faith
Talk about how much they have changed
They just start throwing punches when the voices came
I just start spinning, praying that my jaw won't break

'Cause I could show you anything
House in Venice Beach where you took off your dress
You could show me anything
Color of a page lit like a cigarette

'Cause if time is so temporary
Then let's not wait so long
Let's become the thing
We said
We want

Why'd it take so long though?
Why it takes so long
The drinking make me sad or just make it worse?

Why'd it takes so long though?
Tell me, why it takes so long
Did running make me fast or just make me first?

Make me first
Make me first
