Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somebody painted new beginnings on the sidewalk
Feet heavy on the concrete, heartache walled off
A lot to unpack still, and I've been hitting roadblocks
Tryna see the bright side, nighttime neon
[PreChorus]
I walk these streets alone
To right where we went wrong
[Chorus]
Blame it on ambition, and blame it on my youth
If everything was different, oh, but darling, what's the use
Of digging up old demons, two versions of the truth
Kicking rocks and wishing on this Angeleno Moon
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
[Verse 2]
Seven long summers bled into one another
Time is like a jet plane, over, under
Cars are all flying, separate from each other
Terracotta corners deep in the suburb
[PreChorus]
I walk these streets alone
To right where we went wrong
[Chorus]
Blame it on ambition, and blame it on my youth
If everything was different, oh, but darling, what's the use
Of digging up old demons, two versions of the truth
Kicking rocks and wishing on this Angeleno moon
[Bridge]
This Angeleno moon
La Jolla Avenue
Reflecting off the roof
Walking home with you
[Chorus]
Blame it on ambition, blame it on my youth
If everything was different, oh, but darling, what's the use
Of digging up old demons, two versions of the truth
Kicking rocks and wishing on this Angeleno moon
[Outro]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Wishing on this
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Wishing on this
Ah, ah-ah-ah
