[Verse 1] Heard you were an author When it's just dictation Why even bother? You're a happy little patient [Verse 2] Grey gets colder 'Til your heart gives over You don't wanna wake up Cause to wake up is to face her [Chorus] So you turned against the tide You wound up where the forces collide There's a million forms of life You lucked out like a California bride [Verse 3] You're better off chomping Into the belly of a mountain Where the level is a constant Where your heart can't function [Chorus] So you turned against the tide You wound up where the forces collide There's a million forms of life You lucked out like a California bride [Bridge] You know you're never gonna find love It's impossible to hold up You know you're never gonna find love You gotta take your chances, babe Or you're never gonna find love [Chorus] So you turned against the tide You wound up where the forces collide There's a million forms of life You lucked out like a California bride
