A coastal breeze
Over the mountain tops
Keeps the city wet
And dense with fog
And the air we breathe
Is soaked in sea
The Pacific sings
"Forget Me Not"
And I've never looked
So longingly
From the East and said
"That's where I've got to be"
So don't
Don't tell me the weather's
Always changing
With my mood
'Cuz this thick air's only been a day
And I've wanted to be somewhere else
Since the day
Since the day that I got here
A cloud rolls by
Over the tree that broke
The chimney stays
All full of smoke
But no fire burns
To keep us warm
All the heat that's left
Is in our arms
And I've never looked
So lovingly
Upon you're picture and said
"That's where I've got to be"
So don't
Don't tell me the weather's
Always changing
With my mood
'Cuz this thick air's only been a day
And I've wanted to be somewhere else
Since the day
Since the day that I got here
So, if the Sun comes out
And the storm rolls through
Do you really think
My smile will come out too
I say it will
When I'm looking from the West
And I'll be screaming
Yeah, I'll be screaming
So don't
Don't tell me the weather's
Always changing
With my mood
'Cuz this thick air's only been a day
And I've wanted to be somewhere else
Since the day
Since the day that I got here
And I've never looked
So longingly
From the East and said
"I wish"
But this city's so big
That it swallows everything
