about

This song is a culmination of two trips that I have taken to San Francisco… you can make an educated guess on some of the places, but I really wanted to leave it up to the imagination of the listener. The cool thing about this song is that it could apply to any city you visit. I went back and forth on solidifying the name, and ultimately decided on "San Francisco" as a means of solidarity for one of the first cities to go on full lock down due to COVID 19.

lyrics

Walked in the wrong direction
This city has me turned around
Wore sneakers with a dress on
Guess I knew I would get lost
Followed the signs around
But my heart pushed me away
Stepped through a million puddles
That were filled with a million things

Guess I knew I would get lost today
I saw buildings of color turn grey
Guess I got stared at in a cafe
Spent all my money on food but that's okay

I left my shadows across this town
White noise replaced with sound
Long lines with steep streets
This is the only place for me

Walked on rainbow floors
These paintings have me turned around
Hopped on a local bus
To where waves come crashing down
Swallowed my pride and privilege
As I saw someone pass out
Needle in their arm sleeping soundly face down

Guess I knew I would get lost today
I saw buildings of color turn grey
Guess I got stared at in a cafe
Spent all my money on food but that's okay

I left my shadows across this town
White noise replaced with sound
Long lines with steep streets
This is the only place for me

Planted my steps in every corner
Planted a vision in my head

I left my shadows across this town
White noise replaced with sound
Long lines with steep streets
This is the only place for me

Walked in the wrong direction
This city has me turned around
Wore sneakers with a dress on
Guess I knew I would get lost
