The lights are shining through the windows of my building I wake up late but I'm still tired from my sleep I wanna go out with a sunny hallelujah But two hours later I'm still balled up on the bed All day long I sit in the appartment All my life just waiting for a call I won't go outside 'til after midnight I'll just sit and watch the boring days go by I wish I took that trip to Southern California But now I'm here alone with no one by my side The rain is pouring down outside as I relinquish And I put my sweater on and walk out in the dark I don't love myself 'til after midnight But when it's twelve o' clock the girls are gone I still have my head near California But I'll just sit here gazing at the billboards in the rain
