saw the bright lights and so you headed out
saw the billboard signs and left the ground
saw the movies and wanted out of this regular life
but all that you've found

is that we heeded a call "come on, all aboard"
and we paid with our souls
for a ticket to nowhere
i can't do this without making a sound
washes watership down

because i feel so watered down

saw the ocean for the first time
i felt whole inside
i took all the pills that they gave me
and washed out with the tide
i heard only what i wanted to her
and i shut you out
and if california kills me
i'll deserve it
and i guess you've found

that i hated the call "come on, all aboard"
and i paid with my soul
for a ticket to nowhere
i can't do this without making a sound
washes watership down

cause i feel so watered down

so take this for what it's worth
i never wanted this to be
and i bet you'll find out soon enough
i've fallen, fallen back home
and take this for what it's worth
i never wanted it to end this way
and i know no matter how long you look for
you'll always be searching
always be searching for home
