California Song

She said Sing me a lullaby so sweet,

That the lights would stay away from me

Because my eyes see things they shouldn't see

Help me

So I started to tremble out a verse

But my words weren't lining up with her

But then the way that she hurt was even worse

Than without me

So I got high

And I lost faith in a melody

Written for a girl when I had nothing left to hide,

And then I cried

Cause I'm missing you and missing Florida

It's a long way back from California.

And as the sun fell dark behind the sea,

I felt her eyes steal another look at me,

She said I'm looking for things I'll never see."

Release to me

And how'd this summer air just get so cold?

And how'd this quiet girl just get so bold?

And how can she be something I can't hold?

Tell me

So I got high

And I lost faith in a melody

Written for a girl when I had nothing left to hide,

And then I cried

because I'm missing you and missing Florida

It's a long way back from California.

California

Because I'm missing you, and missing Florida,

It's a long way back from California

A long way back from California
