Red Hot Chili Peppers – Under the Bridge

When I was in high school, this song (this album) was the soundtrack of more than one summer. My boyfriend and I used to hang out under a lot of bridges, skateboarding and tagging. Well, I would sk8. He tagged the bridges. I would never spraypaint public property, that’s not the kind of person I am. But anyways, that’s my story about this song. It makes me think of high school, but not in a bad way.

Sometimes I feel
Like I don’t have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
‘Cause she’s my companion
I walk through her hills
‘Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

It’s hard to believe
That there’s nobody out there
It’s hard to believe
That I’m all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away
