| There’s a sunny place in southern California where I can go* |
| When I need a break from the world, you know |
| That times will get harder |
| But I’ll stay the same no matter the change |
| And when I arrive |
| I’ll throw down my bags on the floor and I |
| I’ll thank the world I’ve got these friends of mine |
| That sun that shines |
| These songs that get me high when I feel the need to sing |
| You gave up when you left me for the West |
| Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress? |
| Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces |
| You gave up when you lost the words to say |
| When you find them — come on back to me |
| Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces |
| I’ve got those friends of mine |
| That help me get through all the shitty times |
| I drink myself into these lullabies |
| That hide my eyes |
| But help me to believe I’m not as stupid as you think |
| Cause I show my pride |
| In the form of these black and blue covered eyes |
| A sign that my love’s to be realized |
| Simple to find |
| An easy way to hide yourself |
| You threw my back against the wall |
| You gave up when you left me for the West |
| Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress? |
| Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces |
| You gave up when you lost the words to say |
| When you find them — come on back to me |
| Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces |
| I think we’re stuck here in between |
| The sky that (???) |
| Don’t tell me that we’ve gone this far |
| Without thinking of (fate?) |
| …you left me in pieces… |
| You gave up when you left me for the West |
| Does the coast and the ocean calm your stress? |
| Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces |
| You gave up when you lost the words to say |
| When you find them — come on back to me |
| Now you’re gone, you left me in pieces |
| I think we’re stuck here in between |
| The sky that (???) |
| Don’t tell me that we’ve gone this far |
| Without thinking of (fate?) |
| I was down on my knees |
| You left me in pieces |
