From Here Clear To The Ocean lyrics

From Here Clear to the Ocean (Crowe, Grimes)
From album 'Indoor Garden Party- The Musical'

Whatever you want it isn’t me
Other people’s ambitions are not my specialty
Sometimes I can see
From here clear to the ocean
And sometimes I’m blind

The 101 is a war zone
It’s my main line, my artery , it’s my way home
It’s the only place I have
Left to write my song
One day I want to look out through the windshield
And watch you sing along
Whatever you want, It isn’t me
Other people’s ambitions are not my speciality
Sometimes I can see
From here clear to the ocean
And sometimes I’m blind

I was a father before I was a man
Laugh if you want you can point if you can
Everything that I do
Well I do with complication
What I sing is true, but I can’t face the implication
Whatever you want it isn’t me
Other people’s ambitions are not my speciality
And sometimes I can see
From here clear to the ocean
Sometimes I’m blind...yes I am
Wiper blades at the Autozone on La Cienega
101.3 is just blasting in my car, If I’d written that song
I’d be floating in a limousine
Well it’s a wet day from here to Sherman Way
And I got to get my windshield clean

Anyway...whatever.. you...want...well it isn’t me
Other people’s ambitions are not my specialty
Sometimes I can see
From here clear to the ocean
Slim chance I concede
Oh but I’m gonna never give up hoping
Sometimes I can see
From here clear to the ocean
Sometimes I’m blind
