"Dublin To L.A." lyrics

In the daytime, yellow buses with their lights on keep sighing at the rain
And before you know, the day turns into night, and I'm stranded in myself again
And the music's drunk and spills out of the bars onto the streets, a million songs I know
But every song's about a boy who had to save himself
Save himself and go

It's a long way to fall from the streets to the stars
From the long nights to lost boulevards
It's a long time since I felt the blood in my heart
And the signs on the road all seem to say
It's a long way from Dublin to L.A.
From Dublin to L.A.
It's a long, long way

Took a drive down the 405, turned right on National
Bought some green from a beach punk on stilts with a weird guitar
White waves were coming in and the dolphins were dancing on the sunset like we used to do
And all the girls looked like movie stars
But none of them were you
It's true

It's a long way to fall from the streets to the stars
From the long nights to lost boulevards
From the girl with the smile that can dance with your heart
To the eyes that seem so far away
It's a long way from Dublin to L.A.
It's a long, long way

Too many miles
Cross an ocean
To get to you

From Dublin to L.A.
A long way from you, a long way from me
A long, lonely way
From Dublin to L.A.
A long way from you, a long way from me
A long, lonely way
That's right
From Dublin to L.A.
A long way from you, a long way from me
A long, lonely way
From Dublin to L.A.
A long way from you, a long way from me
A long, lonely way
From Dublin to L.A.
A long way from you, a long way from me
A long, lonely way
From Dublin to L.A.
A long way from you, a long way from me
A long, lonely way
From Dublin to L.A.
