I was driving by the ocean
I didn't even notice
The color of the sky
The color of the water
Because I was too busy choking down my own life
And what I have become
My mama's first born daughter
Barely getting by
Don't go feeling sorry for yourself James
It's all color by numbers
Man it's how you play the game
And you can't be giving up on trying
And you can't be spilling milk and crying
But you can't feel anything but rough
When you can't be with the one you love
When you can't be with the one you love
So I drove on up the canyon
Saw pinwheels in the nursery yard
Dancing in an autumn breeze
Dancing up a storm real hard
Yeah we used to dance and we used to sing
Lord we used to tear it up
Drink beer and hang out here
Sip love from a country club
Some things are bound to never change
Love goes on forever
Baby even in the rain
A million miles away
Ahhhhhs
Girl don't ya know that you
Can't be giving up on trying
And you can't be spilling milk and crying
But you can't feel anything but rough
When you can't be with the one you love
When you can't be with the one you love
When you can't be with the one you love
