San Francisco Lyrics by Alex the Astronaut

The Theory of Absolutely Nothing

2020

[Verse 1]
I met a man who had green-purple eyes
He did the wrong thing and hid it with smiles
And I know he would've rotted inside
But he never got caught
And I always thought that you have to be nice
And I really think most people try
I saw a man give his lung just to save a stranger's life
And my mother cried as they hugged and smiled
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a traveller passing through, passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon, to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all going to change
Yes, I see a garden that's in bloom, that's in bloom
[Verse 2]
The city's been sitting in smoke for the weekend
And the beaches are closed from rough seas and
I've been told that it's just the seasons
But I don't think so
I watched the white caps from West San Francisco
Where the red bridge is standing in mist
And everyone waits for their picture
Old friends smile, side by side against fading skies
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a traveller passing through, passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon, to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all going to change
Yes, I see a garden that's in bloom, that's in bloom
[Bridge]
I can feel your anger from where I am
You said, "I don't see a garden going on from where I stand"
And I feel that too, I get scared and I feel stuck
Then I see light, I see sky, I see babies that smile
And couples that meet up on wide, sunny streets
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up?
What if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up?
And I know those words make me sound so young
But what if love is the one that takes us on and takes us up?
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a traveller passing through, passing through
Riding my spaceship to the moon, to the moon
Looking down at the hope and the pain
But the colours are all going to change
Yes, I see a garden that's in bloom, that's in bloom
