and she said
"i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day i'll find my way"
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay
who would've guessed that a poet and a jewel
would end up a liar and a tool
no ones expecting much at all
and i need to be alone
with words that you will never know inside
shes burning
and farther down
keep spinning in circles
so kiss me now
and i will tell you
i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day ill find my way
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay
and i break
at the sound of the morning
the sounds so alarming to hear
maybe life is not so bad
in another time would you still call my name?
cause i cant hear you
and farther down
keep spinning in circles
so kiss me now
and i will tell you
i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day ill find my way
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay
and i can't stop
holding your grudge now
its what i'm not
part of your falling out
and all this time
we settle for less
