Well so much for sunny California
So much for sitting by the sea
Looking for a moment of reflection
Everything’s as blurry as it can be

So much for soaking in the summer
I brought the clouds along the bay
Silly me for trying to start over
Should have known I’d just get in the way

Every time I try to chart a brand new course
With a flimsy map I made of hope
I keep crashing into me
Everybody knows that true insanity
Is sticking to the same old strategy
And thinking that I’ll get a different me
So much for dreams
So much for dreams

Well so much for epic self-discovery
So much for gaining clarity
Looking for a respite or redemption
Doesn’t matter I just need some peace
chorus

What do you do when the barricade is you
What do you do when the barricade is you
So much for sunny california….

Chorus

Well so much for sunny California
So much for sitting by the sea
Looking for a moment of reflection
Everything’s as blurry as it can be
