Leaving for California

And the alarm clock rang

And the radio came on

A note on your pillow

Said that you had gone

I thought we shared a moment

Thought maybe you would stay

But youre leaving for California

Thousands of miles away

If it wasnt love

It was something like it

Love at first sight?

No, I dont buy that

She caught my eye

And roped me in

I introduced myself

And then it began

The fall, we fell, so far down

But we caught each other, kept ourselves from hitting the ground

Just like I promised you, we fell into each other

Never again, to fall into the arms of another

I hurried to my car

I knew I couldnt let you go

Drove to the airport

Just so I would know

I did everything

Just to make you stay

But youre leaving for California

Thousands of miles away

But you left

I was too late

I ran beside your window

Until your plane flew away

Hit the glass

Id run as far as I could

But knew I hadnt run

As far as I should

To the end of the ocean

To the end of the world

To hold you in my arms

Like Ive never done before

I turned around to leave

Only to see you standing right in front of me

I ran to you, and you ran to me

Threw yourself in my arms

And told me youd never leave

That California wasnt nearly as perfect as this

That California was something you wouldnt miss

The fall, we fell, so far down

But we caught each other, kept ourselves from hitting the ground

Just like I promised you, we fell into each other

Never again, to fall into the arms of another
