I met him on the edge of a good bye i was standing there with no where left to fly i was young but never green a little wiser than my time it seemed he told me bout the places we couldhide wild and kind of crazy most of the time my heart was hanging on his every line i memorized his every thought but the walls he had could never be brought down and now he's not around i guess i'm just another face left in the crowd oh california please come back to me oh california and who i want to be live inside of me i know you're lying somewhere in the arche or destiny your memory is still eager here and i'll never set it free oh california please come back to me oh california who i want to be lives inside of me lives inside of me
