Santa Monica Lyrics

My hands are full of salt from the sea

Sea shell oracle spoke fiction to me

I don't need you if I'm ocean wide and free

I sat on the shore and let it all be

I always knew I'd be the runaway

Santa Monica; the rambler won't stay

I took my guitar in the shower to play

Singing this, this will be the day

I forgot what it was like to sing on the metro

Letting my hair down was so long ago

Georgia girl in Cali; wouldn't you like to know

I ran wild and let the tattooed girl show

I always knew I'd be the runaway

Santa Monica; the rambler won't stay

I took my guitar in the shower to play

Singing this, this will be the day

Dancing on the warm rainy streets at 1 am

There's a highway hum and I'm the synonym

I've run so hard and long that I've become REM

I make songs because I can't hold onto them

I always knew I'd be the runaway

Santa Monica; the rambler won't stay

I took my guitar in the shower to play

Singing this, this will be the day
