The New Amsterdams - From California lyrics

Uncommon amount of the time at home, hardly a word on the telephone. Finally find the time to get to know you. Still mapping it out like a master plan, something to do with my idle hands. Write you a letter addressed from California. It's vivid and strong in my memory, an absence that smacks of abandoning. It let to the battle that ultimately destroyed us. I'm nothing if I don't know your mistakes, the pill is as bitter as I can take. It twists like a blade when I leave for California. I hope that you know this is k**ing me, it's all in the name of the family. We only can play the cards the dealer dealt us. The end of the cycle is closing in, with you I see new hope begin again. There suddenly seems to be promise in California. As heavy as all this is weighing me, believe in the words I am promising. I'm still here for her. The distance is only an obstacle, hardly a match for a miracle. I'm finally ready to go to California.
