"Jericho Beach" lyrics

I grew up when TV changed
Jesus saves and runs away
Carson got his fifteen minutes
For being friends with the kid who did it
And I have dreams where I'm still trying to park at Jericho Beach

I got out and ran away
Nobody came, nobody

After all this waiting
Seismic renovation
Gutted out the whole thing
But kept the presentation
So I figured I could probably do the same

You pick me up, it's far away
You need me for the carpool lane
I'm obsessed with what you're saying
Take me out tonight is playing
And I can't believe you and you won't convince me either way

I'll be yours until we're dead
You said it first, you said

After all this waiting
I was gonna save it
I was only practice
You were gonna waste it

So I figured I should
Wake up and walk home
But the pavement is a portal
Then I'm sixteen and I don't know
How to handle being mortal
Being rivals on the ride home
Staying someone that you don't know
But I'm still trying
And I'm still trying
And I'm still trying
And I'm still trying
And I'm still trying

I thought you wanted me this way
(I thought you wanted me this way)
(I thought you wanted me this way)
(I thought you wanted me this way)
