Santa Ana Wind lyrics

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 LA makes me think of you
I think about the good times
Doing all the bad things that we used to do

I walk the streets at night to remember why I feel so bad
I walk the streets at night, it helps sometimes to remember why

Living in LA, it feels like home in a brand new way
I am like everyone I meet
I have ghost in my eyes that will never go away

I walk the streets at night to understand why I feel so bad
I walk the streets at night to understand why I am the way I am

We come from the sun, we are lost out in the cold
We run for the light, it's the only way to know

Want to find a better sun, I want to find a better world
Want to find a better heart, so I can find me a better girl

I want to find the place, live inside all the violence and the rain
Of the Santa Ana wind, on a sunny day

Living in LA is the west coast way to hide your head in the sand
I 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 lives that I have had
I walk the streets at night, I think about why I want a life that I can't have

We come from the sun, we are lost out in the cold
We fight for the light, it's the only way to know

Want to find a better sun, I want to find my better shine
I want to find a better world, I want to find a better life

I want to find a place, live inside all the violence and the rain
Of the Santa Ana wind on a beautiful day

Yeah, It is the simple things that I love about this place
Sunshine and Mexican food on Christmas day
The noise in the city is the only way I can fall asleep
I think I needed to leave to realize that
This is home
This is where I am supposed to be

We come from the sun we are lost out in the cold
We fight for the light, it's the only way we know

Want to find a better sun, want to find a better shine
I want to find a better world, I want to find me a better life

I want to find a place, hide inside all the violence and the rain
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 all hell is coming down around me now
My Santa Ana wind made the clouds all go away
