Rent California

I never noticed
How the water broke at the surface
Water that's the colour
Of orange blossom
From all the plates
Stood around the sink
We rent California
Think we could make it
Summer to summer
Without setting foot
In that woollen sea
No one tells you it's freezing
Nothing here feels safe

Still I could show you anything
House in Venice Beach
Where you took off your dress
You could show me anything
Colour of a page
Lit like a cigarette
Cause if time
Is so temporary
Then let's not wait
So long
Lets become the thing
We said
We want

And on the beaches
They talk about God a lot
Talk about their faith
Talk about how much
They have changed
They just start throwing punches
When the voices came
I just keep spinning
Praying that my
Jaw won't break

And I could show you anything
House in Venice Beach
Where you took off your dress

You could show me anything
Colour of a page
Lit like a cigarette

Cause it time
Is so temporary
Then let's not wait
So long
Lets become the thing
We say
We want

Why it take so long though?
Why it take so long?
Did drinking make me sad
Or just make it worse?
Why it take so long though
Tell me why it take so long
Did running make me fast
Or just make me first?

Make me first
Make me first
