I think I drank too much

I'm still afraid of growing up

And slowin' down too soon

When the fireworks go off

Balloons will fall the ball it drops

This is New Years

I wanted to let you know

I thought of you

It's all for you

I changed the way

I thought of you

Revolving you

The Sun the Moon

And seasons change

They fall for you

The runaround

Exhausted you

The snow we watched

Defrosts to rain

It's pouring down

On top of you

The words we want, to take away

So we take back the shit that we say 'cause it got in the way

All the feelins that stay will escape

But repeatedly come back on days like today

To display this array on my day, on my face it is written

I can't stop and listen

I'm sitting here wishing that I could dismiss it

But the money and women don't help with decisions

There's no place like home but I'm focused on living

Don't know my limits

The sky is my feeling

No fucks that I'm giving

I might need a minute

Tell Lord I've been sinning

I'm holding my hands and I pray for forgiveness

I might need a minute

I think I drank too much

I'm still afraid of growin' up

And slowin' down too soon

Slowin' down too soon

When the fireworks go off, balloons will fall the ball it drops

This is New Years

I wanted to let you know

I thought of you

It's all for you

I changed the way

I thought of you

Revolving you

The Sun the Moon

And seasons change

They fall for you

Good morning, mimosa

Cocktails in the summer afternoon

Spent the evening hung over

Champagne for the night time blues

'Cause I got a new girl

She's nothin' like you

She don't do anything like you used to do

And I miss the thunder in California

All the glory and wonder

Where's the southern comfort

In the winter my brother he said man fuck her find another

Keep your head up, this is summer

Funny how I had that same younger attitude

My mother said don't rush to be grown

'Cause them valley girls will always have some growin' up to do

I ain't lookin' for, lookin' for love

Just lookin' for someone to fuck

I ain't lookin' for, lookin' for love

I don't need none of that

'Cause I can't wait for you

Can't stay for you

Won't change for you

And I don't want the same things as you

Not chasin' you

Not blamin' you

But I don't want the same things

And forever goes a long way

I'm usually patient

I'm tired of waiting all the time

Usually faded all the time

I ain't lookin' for, lookin' for love

Just want you to, want you to know

I'm just lookin' for, lookin' for somebody to fuck

Just for the night, I swear

I swear

If all you want is a quick fuck

Then let's go

'Cause I can't wait for you

Can't stay for you

Won't change for you

And I don't want the same things as you

Not chasin' you

Not blamin' you

But I don't want the same things

No, I don't want the same things

I don't want the same things

I ain't lookin' for, lookin' for love

I'm just lookin' for, lookin' for drugs

Just lookin' for, lookin' for drugs

Just lookin' for, lookin' for drugs

Just lookin' for, lookin' for drugs

Just lookin' for, lookin' for drugs

I just bought some drugs

Off a man that didn't know

In the lobby

The lobby of the Roosevelt

As if you didn't warn me enough

I got that Califormula

Got that Califormula

One more night

I got that Califormula

No use in thinkin' 'bout you now

'Cause you're gone, you're gone

You're gone

So I leave it all behind

I always feel like I'm behind you

I tried to sleep, but I

I'm faded out my mind

Lay me down tonight

I always feel like I'm beside ya

I got that Califormula

Got that Califormula

One more night

I got that Califormula

One more night

Got that Califormula

Thinkin' 'bout you now

You now, you now

Where are you

Where are you goin

You're gone

You're gone

You're gone

You're gone

You're gone

Gone

Gone

You're gone

Gone

Was it even real to you, baby?

'Cause it was real to me

Was it even real?

'Cause if it was real

Where are you goin'?

Is it still the same way that you wanted it?

The same way that you needed it?

So tell me if it's real

Baby, tell me if it's real

Tell me how you feel

I wear no color today

Window sounds of rain

Nobody at the bar

LA is grey today

Where are you now?

Where are you goin'?

Is it still the same way that you remember it?

Or was it ill praised when it was over with?

Where are you now?

Where are we goin'?

Do you wanna change the way you remember it?

Do you wanna cha-?

Was it even real to you, baby?

'Cause it was real to me

Was it even real?

'Cause if it was real

Where the fuck are you goin'?

Is it still the same way that you wanted it?

The same way that you needed it?

So tell me if it's real

So tell me if it's real

Fuckin' tell me how you feel

Lesson learned

Where are you now?

Where are you goin'?

Where are you now?

Where are we goin'?

'Cause I just wanna feel you now

Just wanna feel you now, yeah

So tell me if it's real

Tell me how you feel

'Cause I just wanna lay you down

Just wanna feel you now

When I woke up, 6 PM

Sleepin in your bed again

Your ghost

Keeps me lonely

All the while

I'm burnin for you

For you

And this could be

Just what you need

Just dim the lights

Cut your ties

Break down this line

The mood is right

You burn inside of me

You're burnin' inside of me

You burn

And I'm still alive in you

I'm still alive

I'm still on fire for you

It's burnin inside

No use in thinkin bout it now

You're gone

You're gone

You're gone

And I'll be what you want

I'll be what you need

I can love you more

So what could be better, she tries to remember

A time when the weather, was warm enough

To swim in September, got sick and got better

By middle November, it tore me up

The time was just flyin

I'm tryin, rewindin

Ask me if I'm lyin

I'm yellin, you're cryin

I love you I'm sorry

Let's drop it my bad

It's not worth the work we put in what we have

After that, dysfunction between us was gettin to me

But maybe dysfunction is just what you need

And maybe there's comfort in rippin the seams

You can't reap what you sow till you learn what you teach

So you left out of spite, and my pride watched you leave

And conjunction dysfunction was the greatest disease

The greatest

The greatest you ever had

The greatest in the world

And I'm still alive in you

I'm still alive

I'm still on fire for you

It's burnin inside

No use in thinkin bout you now

You're gone

You're gone

You're gone

In you

And I'll be what you want
