“Santa Monica Dream” is the fifth track of Angus & Julia Stone’s album Down The Way.
The song begins with a verse that sounds like what once was, the past tense, goodbye to what I once wanted, fantasized over but is no longer is mine anymore.
The song is also used in the 2015 video game “Life...
[Verse 1: Julia Stone, Angus & Julia Stone]
Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream
Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
You tell me stories of the sea
And the ones you left behind
Goodbye to the roses on your street
Goodbye to the paintings on the wall
Goodbye to the children we'll never meet
And the ones we left behind
And the ones we left behind
[Chorus: Angus & Julia Stone]
I'm somewhere, you're somewhere
I'm nowhere, you're nowhere
You're somewhere, you're somewhere
I could go there but I don't
[Verse 2: Julia, Angus & Julia]
Rob's in the kitchen making pizza
Somewhere down in Battery Park
I'm singing songs about the future
Wondering where you are
[Bridge: Julia, Angus & Julia]
I could call you on the telephone
But do I really want to know?
You're making love now to the lady down the road
No, I don't, I don't want to know
[Chorus: Angus & Julia]
I'm somewhere, you're somewhere
I'm nowhere, you're nowhere
You're somewhere, you're somewhere
I could go there but I don't
[Outro: Angus & Julia]
Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream
Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
You tell me stories of the sea
And the ones you left behind
And the ones we left behind

I wrote that song at a time when I was really deeply in love with somebody who lives in Santa Monica. I think we can all relate to when you meet somebody and go down that fantasy road of, you know, the life with them, and what the life with them would be like. I guess I knew I wasn’t going to choose...
