Oh, how did it come to this? Not easy to dismiss I'm always told, that you've got to cling to hope Please, tell me how it came to be Got a california dream Only to see, that the lights fade easily No, I'm surrounded by a world of no Find it hard to breath in slow In and out, when you're riddled with doubt Lost a job, and all you got Is just a mattress on the floor, and not much more And all you say is babe, we'll buy a house someday We'll buy a house someday Weave, in and out of complexities And shadows of uncertainties An empty room, and the curtain's closing soon But you, you always had a way to prove That we were gonna make it through Another night, see the morning in a new light Find a job, make do with what we got Luck was on the way, the hopeful say We've got too many scars And keeping count's like numbering stars I'm home wherever you are, when all is pulled away Try so hard to disguise Tell me everything is alright The rent's due in a night, no where to go but we can't stay And all you say is babe, we'll buy a house someday We'll buy a house someday We'll buy a house someday We'll buy a house someday We'll buy a house someday
