Staring down the boulevard
Crescent heights the city lights the way
To another wasted dayShiny cars and shooting stars
California dreaming in my ear
I just wish that you were hereI'm dealing with scars
Just trying to see who we areNobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feelYou're looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something realSummer's on a holiday
Pills to chase the blues away
Who knows just how far this story goesSo listen to the radio
Turn it up so you can sing along
Even though the notes are wrongI'm building up walls
And trying to break all the fallsNobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feelYou're looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something realAll your life you're wondering
We don't know what's happening
Something's gotta giveFalling through the atmosphere
See the world in black and white
The picture's coming clear
How many times I wished that you were hereNobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feelYou're looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something realNobody said it would be easy
Fighting your way through another day
I think I know how you feelYou're looking for something that matters
Keeping it together when it's all been shattered
We all want something real
We all want something real
We all want something real
