We Used To

We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
 All the moments dotted on the map
 Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
 But not with us intact
 We've all taken flight. Leave our friends behind.
 Not that they'd understand
 A pledge we recite, nothing can deny
 Our lives in the van
 Is it delusion, or maybe a sign? Only to be told with time
 We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
 All the moments dotted on the map
 Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
 But not with us intact
 With the steps missed, not the taken
 Like the rest, fix what they're breaking
 Just to prove much better when you're gone
 Where'd we go wrong, was the plan right?
 Now we know, and through our hindsight, our light continues shining on
 Is it delusion, or maybe a sign? Only to be told with time
 We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
 All the moments dotted on the map
 Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
 But not with us intact
 Through the window the light is on, pressed against the wall, it's on
 When it feels like every day, life can't get out of our way
 We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
 All the moments dotted on the map
 Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
 But not with us intact
 We used to look ahead to times that we're now looking back on
 All the moments dotted on the map
 Southern California went back on her promise for the times that fly
 But not with us intact
