San Diego Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder where our lives go
They question who we used to be
Sometimes I feel like I'm the oxygen between
The cigarette and gasoline

I can't sleep 'cause what if I dream
Of going back to San Diego
We bought a one way ticket
So we could go see the Cure
And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot
And think of every person I ever lost in San Diego (to San Diego)
Can't go back to San Diego (can't go back to San Diego)

Abandoned houses with the lights on (oh, oh, oh)
Late at night I call your name (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Abandoned love songs smashed across the hardwood floors
I read the sadness on your face

I can't sleep 'cause what if I dream
Of going back to San Diego
We bought a one way ticket
So we could go see the Cure
And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot
And think of every person I ever lost in San Diego (to San Diego)
Can't go back to San Diego (can't go back to San Diego)

I never needed to hear
All of the pain and the fear
Your secrets filled up my ears
Like the ocean blue
I never wanted to know
How deep these cuts on you go
And like a river they flow
To the ocean blue

Going back to San Diego
We bought a one way ticket
So we could go see the Cure
And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot
And think of every person I ever lost at San Diego (San Diego) (to San Diego)
Can't go back to San Diego (San Diego) (can't go back to San Diego)

What is the Meaning of San Diego?

Ever wondered what happens when nostalgia, heartbreak, and punk rock collide? Well, blink-182 serves up a bittersweet cocktail of memories in this track. Our protagonist is caught in a whirlwind of past loves and lost friends, all tied to the sun-soaked streets of San Diego. The song paints vivid scenes: late-night drives, abandoned houses, and parking lot concerts with The Cure blaring in the background. It's as if every strum of the guitar strings tugs at the heartstrings. Yet, despite the magnetic pull of old haunts and familiar faces, there's an underlying realization that some chapters are best left closed. This anthem is a poignant reminder that while you can reminisce about your past, you can't always go back to it—no matter how many one-way tickets you buy.
