about

Malibu, Los Angeles, fountains, unrequited love.

lyrics

Sandy blankets side by side
Day-dreaming that she could be your bride
Wine is flowing

The famed arches were much smaller
Than imagined but the photographers
Were out
And women arched on ocean stones
And she walked alone

You saw her with another man
You weren’t prepared for it even though
There were no promises
But it really hurt to witness it
Wishes

Throwing loose change in a fountain
The water is so clear
Feeling no clarity
With so many other wishes here

Maybe you’ll just fly away
Maybe you’ll grow wings and fly away
You said – Let the ocean put an end to it

Could every moment be long awaited
Even your whistling as the plane ascends
You think – and you wonder where you lost your sense
You’ve got to begin, begin, begin, begin again

(Again Again)

Throwing loose change in a fountain
The water is so clear
Feeling no clarity
With so many other wishes here
Wishing here

You can see the reflections in the fountain
The water is so clear
Feeling no clarity
With so many other wishes here
Wishing here
You're wishing here
She's wishing here
