California Sober
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cashin' in my chips for forgiveness
Trading in my shame for perspective
Tired of bein' known for my sickness
It didn't work, I'm tryin' something different, I
Healing got me lookin' for freedom
Happiness it used to be fleeting
History was always repeating
Not anymore
I'm California sober
It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors
That I only just discovered
Now I'm California sober
California sober (ahh, I)
Used to live in fear of always slipping
But living for perfection isn't living, I
I ran a little slower, now I'm tripping, I
A beautiful and magical beginning, I
Healing got mе lookin' for freedom
Happiness, it used to be fleeting
History was always rеpeating
Not anymore
I'm California sober
It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors
That I only just discovered
Now I'm California sober
California sober
Trading judgment for freedom
Found somethin' new to believe in
Somethin' inside of me screaming
Don't be so hard on yourself
Look up, somethin' has shifted
My heavy spirit is lifted
I found myself
I'm California sober
It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over
No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors (yeah, yeah)
That I only just discovered
Now I'm California sober
California sober
I, California sober, I
California sober
