Lyrics
Verse:
I went walking Sunset Boulevard
Searching for a hero
Or maybe I went there trying to find myself
Well, I didn’t find him there
But I didn’t really care
And I bade that dirty pavement farewell
For all its glossy shine
Hollywood can leave you cold
It’s only surface deep
It’s all an act
From the hills, the setting sun
Can make a star of anyone
But those rolling canyon streets
Make you feel trapped
Chorus:
Maybe I’m older
Maybe I’m wise
But it’s getting hard to disguise
That this place isn’t all it’s supposed to be
Maybe I’m washed up
Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’ve just accepted my lot
Or maybe I’m just supposed to live my life
As me
Verse:
Driving down from Griffith Park
I heard a song on the radio
Some guy was wishing he could turn back time
If I could change the past
I wouldn’t change the cast
But I’d be sure to make the plot line mine
I’ve knocked where no one’s home
I’ve been searching for the door
And I’ve waited so long for someone to let me in
Maybe it’s up to me
Make my own door and mold a key
And let a brand new story begin
Chorus:
Maybe I’m older
Maybe I’m wise
But it’s getting hard to disguise
That this place isn’t all it’s supposed to be
Maybe I’m washed up
Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’ve just accepted my lot
Or maybe I’m just supposed to live my life
As me
Bridge:
And the traffic on the 405 can make a man lose his cool
And the fog on Venice Beach comes rolling in
It’s a universal lot who wonders if it’s reel or not
Where does the fiction start and the truth begin?
Chorus:
Maybe I’m older
Maybe I’m wise
But it’s getting hard to disguise
That this place isn’t all it’s supposed to be
Maybe I’m washed up
Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’ve just accepted my lot
Or maybe I’m just supposed to live my life
As me
