I watched the Sun come up over LAX 
 I watched the hills pour east through the plains of Texas 
 I cleansed myself, and wiped my memory 
 I watched the coast pull close in a western bay 
 I saw the desert sky in the pouring rain 
 So I washed myself, and wished you'd do the same 
    'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you: Oh, now I miss you hey 
 And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate   
 I watched the Moon stand up to the Rio Grande 
 I watched myself rise up from beneath the sand 
 And I knew, that I was here to stay 
 Maybe my head is clouding up my brain 
 But I think it's for the best for you to be on your way   
 'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you: Oh, now I miss you hey 
 And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate 
 Oh I'm never gonna lie and say: Without you here, it's just not the same 
 'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade 
 Meant to fade   
 Oh I'm not gonna turn around and tell you: Oh, now I miss you hey 
 And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate 
 Oh I'm never gonna lie and say: Without you here, it's just not the same 
 'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade   
 Ladies and Gentlemen
