lyrics

Did you come for a vacation
Or did you come here to live
'Cause it's a good place to party, to be artsy
But it's a better place to build a bridge
To the outside world
Through a show, a poem, a service or sale
Getting in and out by BART rail

Did you come for a quick fix
Or can you take things slow
'Cause our warehouse full of dreamers
Is an okay place to grow
Friendships, businesses
Perennials or weed
All take more than a week

I came here to live
I hope I came here to live
I got time, too young, too much time
Feels less lonely when I try to give
Help me pick a gift that's good for giving
So if I leave I'll be forgiven
We're all just sand, can't blame us for slipping
Trying to make a pretty sieve to live in
