songs: Half Moon Bay

I must have written this song when I was sixteen, because it makes mention of driving highway 84. That's embarrassing to think about-- I should have been a better writer by then...

Get the move on
I'll pack a lunch
Tell my mom
That we can fit a bunch
More in her car
See if she's cool using my car...

I can drive so fast,
I turn hands into airplane wings
Oh, the things that life's made of
They seem so made up...

Everything seems better by the seaside
With the sand and sun in your eyes
You're blinded dumb, yeah
You're blinded dumb

[b]
Then the fire hits the water
And the sky turns red
It doesn't matter what was said
When day's are done
So, let's have some fun...

[c]
I've been thinking about the day
And you've been chasing the thoughts away
So, now together, all of the thoughts will stay
Out on a beach in the Half Moon Bay

The old familiar 84
It still drives like it did before
When we'd come out here in the summer
When we'd come back through with a sunburn
And I'd kiss you while Scott took the wheel
'Cause I knew just how it'd make you feel
Our wonder years ring like thunder
Across other years
It's no wonder that...
