From the recording If Not Now, When
Lyrics
So you’re a runaway in a desperate state, and you left LA to maybe find a way.
You look like you’re new around here. You want another life, and then you disappeared. So many that are just like you. Take a look at life from my point of view.
But what can I say? I don’t think the temptation's ever going away.
Sunrise, followed by those blue skies, and we’ll stay up all night guided by the moonlight. We’ll be alright. Don’t tell me that you’re going to leave. California’s dead and gone so you can stay here with me.
We’ve got nowhere to be. We’ll watch the sunset on the lake. We’ll drive the mountain roads. We’ll camp out in places we shouldn’t stay.
Get up. We're going to see a rock show. Let me see you get down to the all time low
I see ya, Maria, you can count me in. So much for the morning. We don’t know where we’ve been.
I think I know my way around here. I’ve only been a local for like 23 years. Spud drops and the grass grows blue. Take a look at life from my point of view.
But what can I say? I don’t think the sensation's ever going away.
Sunrise, followed by those blue skies, and we’ll stay up all night guided by the moonlight. We’ll be alright. Don’t tell me that you’re going to leave. I know your time is moving on so you can stay here with me.
We’ve got nowhere to be. We’ll watch the sunset on the lake. We’ll drive the mountain roads. We’ll camp out in places we shouldn’t stay.
So you’re a runaway in a brand new state, and you’ve found a place that’s not Californ-I-A.
Sunrise, followed by those blue skies, and we’ll stay up all night guided by the moonlight. We’ll be alright. Don’t tell me that you’re going to leave. Twenty years is not that long so you can stay here with me.
We’ve got nowhere to be. We’ll watch the sunset on the lake. We’ll drive the mountain roads. We’ll camp out in places we shouldn’t stay.
