Santa Ana Wind

I feel safe inside the violence

Like I feel safe inside a roller coaster car

I feel safe in the hills

Up above it all sometimes

In the middle of the night, I can almost see the stars

Living in L.A. makes me think of you

I think about the good times doing all the bad things we used to do

Walked the streets and I could remember why I feel so bad

Walked the streets at night, it helps sometimes to remember why

Living in L.A. feels like home in a brand new way

I am like everyone I meet,

I have ghosts in my mind they will never go away

I walked the streets at night to understand why I feel so bad

I walked the streets at night questioning why I am the way I am

We come from the somewhere lost time out in the cold

We run for the light, it's the only way we know

Wanna find a better sun, I wanna find a better world

Wanna find a better heart, so I can find me a better girl

Wanna find a place living inside of the violence and the rage

Of the Santa Ana wind on sunny day.

Living in L.A. it's the west coast where I have my head in the sand

Can't explain this place, if you're not from here you will never understand

I walk the streets at night

I think about all the lies that I've had

I walk the streets at night

I think about why I want the love that I can't have

We come from the somewhere lost out in the cold

We fight for the light, it's the only way we know

Wanna find a better sun, I wanna find a better life

I wanna find a better world, I wanna find a better life

Wanna find a place living inside of the violence and the rage

Of the Santa Ana wind on a beautiful day.

Yeah, it is the simple things that I love about this place

Sunshine and Mexican booze on Christmas day

Oh, the noise from the city is the only way I can fall asleep

I think I needed leave to realize that this is all,

This is where I'm supposed to be

Oh oh ooh

We come from the south, we're lost out in the cold

We fight for the light, it's the only way we know

Wanna find a better sun, I wanna find a better shine

Wanna find a better world, wanna find me a better life

I wanna find a place to hide inside the violence and the rage

Of the Santa Ana wind on a winter's day

I can almost see the future

I can almost see the blue sky in the middle of the day

Even though our hell is coming down around me now

My Santa Ana wind made the clouds all blow away
