Hey, you say you're looking for something you've never found
Well, the last time I checked I was lost and wanderin' around
'Cause I know just how it feels to be the best thing you ever had
But still not quite good enough to be the last one
There you go spinning all your wheels
You never know what you've got until you lose it
And here I am waiting all these years
You're not even here
You can look all over this great big world
You can look down every street
In every bookstore, on every dance floor
At every girl you meet
You can drive out to California
And chase down all of your dreams
I'm sure you'll find someone beautiful
But you'll never, you'll never find me
Hey, they say that real love is completely letting go
Well, my hands are way up in the air and you're somewhere in Arizona
Just a few more hundred miles and you'll have everything you need
Except these arms to hold you when that lie brings you to your knees
There you go spinning all your wheels
You never know what you've got until you lose it
And here I am waiting all these years
You're not even here
You can look all over this great big world
You can look down every street
In every bookstore, on every dance floor
At every girl you meet
You can drive out to California
And chase down all of your dreams
I'm sure you'll find someone beautiful
But you'll never, you'll never find me
On Venice Beach
You can look all over this great big world
You can look down every street
In every bookstore, in every dive bar
At every girl you meet
And when you look out over the ocean
From the shores of Venice Beach
I know you'll find the brightest stars
But you'll never, you'll never find me
Oh, you'll never find me....
Oh, you'll never find me....
Oh, you'll never find me
Oh...
You can look all over this great big world
You can look down every street
In every bookstore, in every dive bar
At every girl you meet
And when you look out over the ocean
From the shores of Venice Beach
I know you'll find the brightest stars
But you'll never, you'll never find me
Oh, you'll never find me....
Oh, you'll never find me
Oh....
