I grew up in California, I went to public school Played ball on the blacktop every afternoon ME and my friends had problems Just the same as you But when the times get hard and you're stuck in the dark That's when the loving shines through like If you're out there on your own Just remember where you're from Where we drink until it's done and throw our bottles at the moon And throw our bottles at the moon We've been growing up so long We finally made it home Letting all our problems loose And throw our bottles at the moon So I was born in the city of angels Could've fallen through the cracks I made my way to college And I barely made it back Could've know, should've know my own skin Believe me, it's been a long hard road Couldn't do it alone, we're headed back to the ocean If you're out there on your own Just remember where you're from Where we drink until it's done and throw our bottles at the moon And throw our bottles at the moon [Chorus] Choose not to be it and choose not to fight it From the rooftop see it glow so brightly Let it guide you I got you, I got you, and I got you Burned down a bridge and I thought that I lost you But either way either way either way We know it's is the same, so you don't need to aim its the moon I got you, I got you, I got you [Chorus] I grew up in California Yeah and you know, and you know We're throwing bottles at the moon
