Sometimes I wonder where our lives go
And question who we used to be
Sometimes I feel like I'm the oxygen between
The cigarette and gasoline

I can't sleep
Because what if I dream

Of going back to San Diego
We bought a one-way ticket
So we can go see The Cure
And listen to our favourite songs
In the parking lot
And think of every person
I ever lost in San Diego (San Diego)

Can't go back to San Diego
(Can't go back to San Diego)

Abandoned houses with the lights on
Late at night I call your name
Abandoned love songs smashed across the hardwood floors
I read the sadness on your face

I can't sleep
Because what if I dream

Of going back to San Diego
We bought a one-way ticket
So we can go see The Cure
And listen to our favourite songs
In the parking lot
And think of every person
I ever lost in San Diego (San Diego)

Can't go back to San Diego
(Can't go back to San Diego)

I never needed to hear
All of the pain and the fear
Your secrets filled up my ears
Like the ocean blue

I never wanted to know
How deep these cuts on you go
And like a river they flow
To the ocean blue

Of going back to San Diego
We bought a one-way ticket
So we can go see The Cure
And listen to our favourite songs
In the parking lot
And think of every person
I ever lost in San Diego (San Diego)

Can't go back to San Diego
(Can't go back to San Diego)
