Not a Day Goes By

This song was written about my desire to move to San Diego when I was younger. Surprise, I'm here. The title came later after some friends moved out here before I actually made it out. They referred to San Diego as Dego (day-go), which formed the original song title Not a Dego By. That being too... cryptic (?), offensive (?), I changed it to the current title.

The map I refer to really does exist...

Video tomorrow!

Not A Day Goes By

sick of pulling straws
i plant my feet, they're taking over
time and time again
they just keep getting shorter

well, i bought a map today
i put pins into the places that i've been
and places i'd love to be
but san diego is just so far away

They set him up To watch him fall
But can you see him Up on the wall?
Mark one up, Let it be known
That San Diego, I'm coming home.

i've lingered long enough
and i'm sick of screwing up
i'm tainted with the lust
for a sunny day in california

look at that map today
and laughed at the boy who would take it over
his ideas fit like puzzle pieces
but san diego's just so far away

They set him up To watch him fall
But can you find him Up on the wall?
Mark one up, Let it be known
That San Diego, I'm coming home.

i'm sick of waking up
to a bleeding alarm clock every morning
hit that button one more time
and pause our lives for ten more minutes

this shower can only wash away
this city once, do it every day
i'd wash it away for good
if san diego weren't so far away

They set him up To watch him fall
But can you find him Up on the wall?
Mark one up, Let it be known
That San Diego, I'm coming home.
