Lyrics

0:33Me I'm from a different type of left land old wild west land
0:37Nosebleeds palm trees and tumbleweeds rustling
0:40Outside they say it's happy here but it's depressing
0:43Too many pretty faces catching my attention
0:46So I look at them remind myself in the smudged glass
0:49"That pretty isn't everything you punk a**"
0:51Always hard to see past the surface when it looks so perfect
0:55But her eyes will disguise dirt on purpose you listening
0:58I grew up here under the sun grade school
1:02I was the odd one out of the bunch
1:04And I don't mean I was the kid who ate bugs for lunch
1:07I was the one who wasn't coming from where they're coming from
1:10I speak poetically and never pride my ignorance
1:14But this California sh*t is rigorous
1:16They say it's happy here happiness is figurative
1:19I'm happy 'cause of me doesn't matter where I'm living
1:28If the sun was God I'd be covered in faith
1:34If the ocean was the devil I'd be covered in hate
1:42I'm so west coast it's a goddamn shame
1:48I'm so west coast it's a goddamn shame
1:53I'm waking up underneath sheets naked still sweating
1:56Slept in late so everybody else is ready
2:00My friend called up he said
2:01"Hurry up buddy it's almost sundown already"
2:05So I hopped up I went and washed up
2:08I ate some pasta then I gave my mom hugs
2:11And then I thought "Uh it's gonna be a pretty nice night"
2:14But pretty isn't everything right
2:18Golden state mind I'm taking my time
2:20Plain white shirt and a skinny black tie
2:23My top let down when I get picked up
2:26P C H so California
2:30Maybe they were right; happiness is a warm gun
2:33But before you shoot please warn us
2:36Life is too fun California will you marry me
2:40Let God be the sun and in the ocean they shall bury me
2:48If the sun was God I'd be covered in faith
2:54If the ocean was the devil I'd be covered in hate
3:02I'm so west coast it's a goddamn shame
3:08I'm so west coast it's a goddamn shame
3:14I'm so west coast it's a goddamn shame
3:20I'm so west coast it's a goddamn shame
Me  I'm from a different type of left land  old wild west land
Nosebleeds  palm trees  and tumbleweeds rustling
Outside  they say it's happy here  but it's depressing
Too many pretty faces catching my attention
So I look at them  remind myself in the smudged glass
"That pretty isn't everything  you punk a**"
Always hard to see past the surface  when it looks so perfect
But her eyes will disguise dirt on purpose  you listening
I grew up here  under the sun  grade school
I was the odd one  out of the bunch
And I don't mean I was the kid who ate bugs for lunch
I was the one who wasn't coming from where they're coming from
I speak poetically  and never pride my ignorance
But this California sh*t is rigorous
They say it's happy here  happiness is figurative
I'm happy 'cause of me  doesn't matter where I'm living
If the sun was God  I'd be covered in faith
If the ocean was the devil  I'd be covered in hate
I'm so west coast  it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast  it's a goddamn shame
I'm waking up underneath sheets  naked still sweating
Slept in late so everybody else is ready
My friend called up  he said
"Hurry up buddy  it's almost sundown already"
So I hopped up  I went and washed up
I ate some pasta  then I gave my mom hugs
And then I thought  "Uh  it's gonna be a pretty nice night"
But pretty isn't everything  right
Golden state mind  I'm taking my time
Plain white shirt  and a skinny black tie
My top let down when I get picked up
P C H so California
Maybe they were right; happiness is a warm gun
But before you shoot  please warn us
Life is too fun  California will you marry me
Let God be the sun and in the ocean they shall bury me
If the sun was God  I'd be covered in faith
If the ocean was the devil  I'd be covered in hate
I'm so west coast  it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast  it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast  it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast  it's a goddamn shame
