lyrics

It’s your first California spring
Welcome to the blossoming
Just when you thought the darkness
Had enveloped everything
That’s when the cherry buds start opening

Welcome to the bay laurels
And the redwood fairy rings
Welcome to the water oaks
In their ever winter green
I know it’s only February
I know you didn’t see it coming

And now we know the dark
Ain’t as far as it seemed
Now we know the spark
Is not everlasting
Now we know to guard it
With every ounce of our being
Now we know how hard it is
to trust promises from seeds

We give in to the dark every night
We give in to the daylight
We give in to the seasons of our
Fleeting lives
Every time, every time, every time

It’s your first California Fall
Are you ready to lose it all
The fire is knocking at your door
Are you ready? Are you ready for more

It swallowed up the bay laurels
And the redwood fairy rings
It swallowed up the water oaks
In their ever summer green
I know it’s only August eighteenth
I know you didn’t see it coming

But now we know the dark
Ain’t as far as it seemed
Now we know the spark
Is not everlasting
Now we know to guard it
With every ounce of our being
Now we know how hard it is
To keep promises to seeds

We give in to the dark every night
We give in to the daylight
We give in to the seasons of our
Fleeting lives
Every time, every time, every time
Every time, every time, every time
