California

I came to see ya

You took me out to eat

And laid me down to sleep



Been a stonewall

Been a stonewall

Been a stonewall

And I crumbled down

Heavy head has worn a thorny crown



I've risen up high

And crumbled down low

I once was magnificent

Gave it all up and never did go



She said "Just give it time

Just give it time

Just give it time

It will no doubt feel better but it takes time"



California

You didn't mean to break my heart

But it was just so hard

It was just so hard



I've gathered my pride and my prejudice

I took another shot and I slid another miss

In for you

I wouldn't say it's all or nothing now

I wrote the passwords and the countersigns both

I'm still in control



California

I came to see ya

You took me out to eat

And laid me down to sleep
