[Intro]
Santa Barbara! It's a wonderful evening tonight. We're Maroon 5, hello! So are you gonna give me Santa Barbara love or what? Said are you gonna give me Santa Barbara love?
[Verse 1]
After school, walking home
Fresh dirt under my fingernails and
I can smell hot asphalt
Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
And I cannot remember
What life was like through photographs
Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past
Sometimes it's a sad song
[Chorus]
But I cannot forget, refuse to regret
So glad I met you and
Take my breath away, make every day
Worth all of the pain that I've gone through
And mama, I've been crying
'Cause things ain't how they used to be
She said, "The battle's almost won
We're only several miles from the Sun"
Oh yeah, woah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Moving on, down my street
I see people I won't ever meet
I think of her, and I take a breath
I feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
Sometimes it's a sad song, oh
[Chorus]
But I cannot forget, refuse to regret
So glad I met you and
Take my breath away, make every day
Worth all of the pain that I've gone through
And mama, I've been crying
'Cause things ain't how they used to be
She said, "The battle's almost won
We're only several miles from the Sun," yeah
Oh, yeah
[Interlude (Spoken)]
How you feel Santa Barbara, you feel good? 'Coz I feel fan-f*****-tastic tonight
[Bridge]
The rhythm of her conversation
The perfection of her creation
The sex she slipped into my coffee
The way she felt when she first saw me
Hate to love and love to hate her
Like a broken record player
Back and forth and here and gone
And on and on, on and on
[Chorus]
I cannot forget, refuse to regret
So glad I met you, and
Take my breath away, make every day
Worth all of the pain that I've gone through
And mama, I've been crying because
Things ain't how they used to be
She said, "The battle's almost won
And we're only several miles..."
She said, "The battle's almost won
And we're only several miles from the Sun"
Oh yeah! Yeah!
[Guitar Solo: James Valentine]
Y-yoh, yeah-oh
Yoh, oh
Yo-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh yoh, yoh, oh-ohohoh
Yeah-eah-eah-eah
Yeah-eh-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey-ey
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, ho-oh
Woah-hoah!
Oh, yeah
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh, oh
[Outro (Spoken)]
Right on, right on, right on. God it's a good night. Not only is it a good night because it's Friday The 13th... but it's also a good night, because it is our bass player Mickey Madden's birthday... and it's an even better night because tonight, ladies and gentlemen, is the last night of our very very long tour, in Santa Barbara. So I'd say it's a pretty damn good night, what would you say about that? You say it's alright?
We're writing new material right now and this new song is called "Wasted Years", check it out
