California

All of these things that I wanted for you
 You set out to find them and I hope that you do
 But all that I hope for you
 Is all that I fear
 The thought of you leaving plays out in my head
 Will you really do it or turn back instead?
 When you realize that all you love is right here
 You're fighting the feeling and a voice that keeps calling for you
 What will it be, me or California?
 Your eyes are not laughing now
 I know it's no joke
 Cause you've lost something in you since the last time we spoke
 It's the thing I held on to
 It's the thing that I loved you for
 And now that I see it as it falls from your eyes
 Will I just let it drop?
 Cause I know now, I realize that it is not mine
 You are not mine anymore
 And that you say to me, don't tell me I didn't warn you
 Cause winter, it just isn't me, and I'm leaving for California
 You have to go
 You have to go
 I hear it in your voice
 Listen as it echoes
 (x2)
 Stop telling me and start walking away
 And did you expect me to curl up and die
 while you turn a promise into a lie?
 Did it surprise you how easily I let you go?
 It just wasn't meant
 It must have been fate
 Cause you realized but a second too late
 That life without me was a life that you just didn't wanna know
 And the words that I wished for
 Darling I'm (something--I can't discern it) for ya
 So get your ass on a plane
 And I'll see you in California
 (x2)
