Californian Carpark Concrete

I swear, the sky is bigger out west
Doubts settle in like flies to a carcass
And just like that, the memory hits me
Like Californian carpark concrete

Dark morning freeway to the horizon
Headlights drag me into oblivion
Credit cards and petrol plastic palm trees
And Californian carpark concrete

And they say, "If the crocs don't get you, then the sharks will"
But when I'm underwater, baby, it's like time stands still

I tried to read over your shoulder
I said I'm scared of getting older
And just like that, this feeling cracks me
Like Californian carpark concrete

And they say, "If the crocs don't get you, then the sharks will"
But when I'm underwater, baby, it's like time stands still
Yeah, they say, "If the crocs don't get you, then the sharks will"
But when I'm underwater, baby, it's like time stands still

Drive through the night, wait for light
Watching raindrops hit the pavement
I'm over it
I'm wasting my time
Spent my life in a constant state of waiting
I'm over it

But wide becomes wider, far becomes further
I'll be alright, I think I've been out here before some time with you

You say I shouldn't try to control the uncontrollable
Measure the immeasurable
I try not to think about you
But I still do

But oh, to be constant
Oh, to be solid
Oh, to survive this heat
Like Californian carpark concrete
