Help Identifying Song

I have had a song stuck in my head for the past couple days. None of my music loving friends or children can help me. All I can remember is a chorus that goes something like this:

Here it comes down, here it comes down
See me again
Here it comes down, here it comes down
See me again
Here it comes down, here it comes down
See me again
Going nowhere

Help me, ILM, you're my only hope. I am beginning to think I dreamed this one.

It was no dream.

four months pass...

Heard a song while pumping gas, chorus was basically "Caaaalllliiiiffooorrrnnniiiaaa." Very Beatle-influenced sunny psychedelic rock, like ELO, or XTC, or maybe Jellyfish, but I'm guessing it's newer than any of those bands??

Maybe Phantom Planet?

Yeah, that's it thanks, although I didn't think it was when I sorted through the intros of a bunch of California songs. (I blame it on being 5AM on my way to the airport.) It was the quiet little breakdown about 2 minutes in that I caught.

Man, how is that song more than 20 years old already

I know, right? I never watched a single episode of The OC, but I vaguely knew it from promo ads.

Oh hell, I think it was this Mates of State cover I heard!

A Mates of State cover of that Phantom Planet song sounds like an early-2000s infinite loop...

lol it wasn't Mates of State either, it was this:

And I came into it about a minute before the end.

one month passes...

This one should be really obvious, but I'm kind of a classical music know-nothing. What well-known melody is Manu borrowing?
