Cool breeze look at me I'm smiling It's become a rare occurrence I'm trying To let my worries fade away Hard hits times are hard, we're struggling To keep our heads above water we're paddling There's really nothing more to say
I know where I need to go to heal the cuts that hurt my soul I know what I need to do to make it through
I need to go to Santa Monica, baby what is wrong with ya You don't understand I hate this place, you don't understand I need my space I wanna stand under the city lights and feel the warm ocean nights I wanna breathe the salty days I just need to get away to Santa Monica
Run fast, run from all the troubling No need to stick with the fumbling It won't do you any good Let go of the dark that's happening Just find a smile and let it in And feel the peace that you should
And you'll know where you need to go to heal the cuts that hurt your soul You'll know what you need to do, can I come with you?
Cuz I wanna go to Santa Monica, baby what is wrong with ya You don't understand I hate this place, you don't understand I need my space I wanna stand under the city lights and feel the warm ocean nights I wanna breathe the salty days I just need to get away to Santa Monica
I need to get away, get away, get away I need to get away, get away from this place....
So won't you take me to Santa Monica so I can sing this little song to ya, we can forget the past that's haunted us... x2
