that california song

Lyrics

she said "sing me a lullaby so sweet, that the lights would stay away from me, because my eyes see things they shouldn't see, help me.", so i started to tremble out a verse, but my words weren't lining up with her, but then the way that she hurt was even worse, than without me. so i got high, and i lost faith in a melody, written for a girl when i had nothing left to hide, and then i cried, cause i'm missing you and missing florida, it's a long way back from california. and as the sun fell dark behind the sea, i felt her eyes steal another look at me, she said "i'm looking for things i'll never see.", release me, and how'd this summer air just get so cold?, and how'd this quiet girl just get so bold?, and how can she be something i can't hold?, tell me, so i got high, and i lost faith in a melody, written for a girl when i had nothing left to hide, and then i cried, cause i'm missing you and missing florida, it's a long way back from california. california, cuz i'm missing you, and missing florida, it's a long way back from california, a long way back from california.
