San Diego, you've still got something to say
Don't let yourself get swallowed by LA
When I went there with you I felt the quiver of doubt in your kiss
But don't worry dear, I'm a perfectionist

And if you think I'll settle for less
Well you're wrong, I want to be your absolute best

Departure flights at midnight, San Diego in the distance all alone
I try to explain that your heart is my home
I kiss you at the terminal as it's time for us to say goodbye
You turn around once again as we catch each other's eyes

And if you think I'll settle for less
Well you're wrong, I want to be your absolute best
You're wrong, I want to be your absolute best

Hold on dear
Hold on dear
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Hold on dear
I'll make it clear
That no one else could love you like I do

San Diego, you're so far away from home
With your red and green lights
And your wrought-iron bones

And if you think I'll settle for less
Well you're wrong, I want to be your absolute best
And if you think I'll settle for less
Well you're wrong, I want to be your absolute best

San Diego, you're so far from home
San Diego, you're so far
San Diego, you're so far from home
So far, so far
So far from home
So far
So far from home
