818 Lyrics

818 is the area code
i can dial you up anytime on the telephone
we live together in the golden state
hollywood is your favorite place
yeah that’s where i go looking first

but i don’t know where to find you now
you’re right beside me but still gone somehow
yeah i don’t know where to find you now
cause there’s any number of ways
a person can hide away
if they don’t wanna be found

91601 is the zip code
i’m halfway across the map in Chicago
i send you a postcard from the road
to keep you company till i get home
it’s gonna find you long before i do

chorus

there’s gotta be some secret combination turn three times to the left, stop on the day that we
first met
then back around to the score that we’ve been keeping
cause baby we got only one more shot to even this thing
out

1998, that was our year
innocence made a last stand before the tears
now i’m the master of skin deep
and keeping the world at arm’s length
i never meant to hold you anywhere but close to me

but i don’t know where to find me now
i’m right beside you but still gone somehow
yeah i don’t know where to find me now
cause i got any number of ways
when i wanna hide away
from you now
