Oh, vaguely, I remember   power locks and electric   The son of California   Here I go    I came and went   seen and conquered    I had never been so in love      Paint your rivers and your cities   and your guns in gold   Tell the stories and the secrets    like they gotta be told    I come back to this town, falling in on myself   I have never been so alone      Driving through the valley   toward a girl that I thought I wanted   I am swimming   in a dirty sea   Salt water   and air feel just like a coffin   I wonder   Will you remember me?      Paint your rivers and your cities   and your guns in gold   Tell the stories and the secrets    like they gotta be told    I come back to this town,    falling in on myself   I have never been so alone      I'm amazed (I'm amazed I'm amazed I'm amazed)   I can follow through   And I know you don't want me to   So I shake, when I do, all the little things hidden   inside come loose    And I fell apart from loving you      Paint your rivers and your cities   and your guns in gold   Tell the stories and the secrets    like they gotta be told    I come back to this town,    falling in on myself I have never been so alone
