Santa Ana Wind

I feel safe inside the violence

Like I feel safe inside a roller coaster car

I feel safe in the hills up above it all

Sometimes in the middle of the night I can almost see the stars

Living in LA makes me think of you

I think about the good times doing

All the bad things that we used to do

I walk the streets at night to remember why I feel so bad

I walk the streets at night to hell sometimes to remember why

Living in LA feels like home in a brand new way

I am like everyone I meet, I have ghosts

In my eyes that will never go away

I walk the streets at night to understand why I feel so bad

I walk the streets at night to understand why I am the way I am

We come from the sun

We are lost out in the cold

We run for the light

It's the only way we know

Wanna find a better sun

I wanna find a better world

Wanna find a better heart

So I can find me a better girl

Wanna find a place to live inside all the violence and the rage

Of a Santa Ana wind on a sunny day

Living in LA is a West Coast way to have your head in the sand

Can't explain this place

If you're not from here you will never understand

I walk the streets at night

I think about all the lives that I've had

I walk the streets at night

I think about why I want a life that I can't have

We come from the sun

We are lost out in the cold

We fight for the light

It's the only way we know

Wanna find a better sun

I wanna find a better shine

Wanna find a better world

I wanna find a better life

I wanna find a place to live inside all the violence and the rage

Of a Santa Ana wind on a beautiful day

Yeah, it is the simple things that I love about this place

Sunshine and Mexican food on Christmas day

Oh, the noise in the city is the only way I can fall asleep

I think I needed to leave

To realize that this is home

This is where I'm supposed to be

Oh, oh, oh

We come from the sun

We are lost out in the cold

We fight for the light

It's the only way we know

Wanna find a better sun

Wanna find a better shine

Wanna find a better world

Wanna find me a better life

Wanna find a place to hide inside all the violence and the rage

Of a Santa Ana wind on a winter's day

I can almost see the future

I can almost see the blue sky in the middle of the day

Even though all hell is coming down around me now

My Santa Ana wind made the clouds all go away
