A song about feeling foreign in familiar places.

Lyrics:
why’s it so hot in California
warm air trickling through the trees
all the leaves are either brown or green
there is no in-between
and if the wind starts howling
through the cracks and blowing across the yard
I will know that I am home
that I have come this far

why's the winter never winter
why’s the sky always so blue
have I always noticed everything
I never noticed you
how the cold air seeps into my bones
the sweaters never fare
though the temperature is rising
I can never ever bare to be

warm alone

I see faces from the past
passing by in passing cars
I hear the low hum of the freeway
and the strum of a guitar
I smell the mornings of my childhood
the nighttime’s of my youth
I feel my mother’s soothing touch
piano keys and sweet disputes

why do I get the feeling
that my memories are fading
swiftly floating on the winds
or crowded by some cloudy weather
how it all comes together
when I’m sitting in my room
more like a tomb than a resting place
my face has fallen
cause I’ll never feel

warm alone

how is it that every time I’m here
my troubles they all disappear
I shove them down into my feet
and pray to Hades my soul to keep
the feelings they come flooding back
the memories out of my grasp
I wish to know what happened here
I wish to know what happened
here

cause I can't ever feel
warm alone
I guess I'll never be
warm alone
