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 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 Cause I'm missing you and missing Florida It's a long way back from California California Cuz I'm missing you, and missing Florida It's a long way back from California A long way back from California
