If I knew where to look to find happiness
I'd gather my things and I'd build a house next to it
And paint all the walls in a shade of blue-grey
To resemble the feelings that shadow me everyday
As we drive the sky gets darker
Every single mile marker is a stake in my heart, as they tear us apart
There's a streetlight that's still burning
Unsure when I'll be returning, have I made a mistake?
I've been riding the brakes for 1500 miles
She sweet when it rains, and soft when we sleep
Her name's California and we have got chemistry
Fusing our hearts, with sunsets 'til 10
And streets where we'd hang out 'til quarter to 4 in the AM
Then pa** out with our clothes on beneath the piers and boardwalks
And wake up to the waves
If there was something I could say
I'd write it in sand 'til the tide came and washed it away
If there was something I could do
I'm writing this song to remember I can't forget
Writing this song cause I wish that I never left
Writing this song cause it tears me up
