San Diego

My Superchunk-ish song about lost love in San Diego. More war themes.

Lyrics:

We fell in love,
but I ignored the warning signs,
as overhead the turbine...   more My Superchunk-ish song about lost love in San Diego. More war themes.

Lyrics:

We fell in love,
but I ignored the warning signs,
as overhead the turbines whined.
Above a foggy coastline.

I took your hand,
and I will not forget,
the screaming of the jets,
under a perfect sunset.

When i was just a teen,
My country called for me,
and I will never let go,
of you and me in San Diego.

I held you close,
and I could not ignore,
the lights of the destroyers,
off our southern shores.

I waved goodbye,
I see it in my dreams.
You've left me for the sea,
You've left me for the sea.

You'll win their hearts and minds,
just like you won mine,
and I will never let go,
I'll wait for you in San Diego.

I run my fingers through the sand,
Stare up at the sun again,
Wish that you were here again,
I wish that you were here again,
I wish that we were back in San Diego.   less

I Believed the American Dream

Can't die yet I am too young.
Under this burning sky and far across the sea.
Don't let me go God, I'm not done,
My family needs a miracle from me.

Plea...   more Can't die yet I am too young.
Under this burning sky and far across the sea.
Don't let me go God, I'm not done,
My family needs a miracle from me.

Please this is just a dream.
I believed the American Dream.

Sweet land of liberty I love,
Under your spacious skies and far across the sea.
You live by the sword and I die by the gun.
Now there's nothing but a ghost inside of me.

But I believe this is just a dream.
I believed this American Dream.
I believed the American Dream.

Slow down my heartbeat.
Close my eyes so I can hear me breathe.
When I'm floating high above,
will you recognize my love?
WIll you recognize my love,
when I'm just a star above?

Hope you recognize my love.
I'm just a fading star on a field of blue.
I hope you recognize my love.
I'm just a fading star on a field of blue.

But I believe this is just a dream.
I believed this American Dream.
I believed the American Dream.
