As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament

Weathering my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette

Dear California, it's been nice to know you

Tell me, will you miss me when I'm gone?
'Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
When I'm not in company is when you feel it most
If you keep my memory, hope you keep me close
Won't you love me as I leave?

This alchemy is making me suspicious

As if I slipped you some belladonna
That I crossed town to get,
Didn't you notice, my grand french exit?

Oh, he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
When I'm not in company, that's when you feel it most
If you keep my memory, hope you keep me close
Won't you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea, it's my only hope

It's just me and my pup and the open road

But your face is like a paper-cut to the heart

Slip away while you sleep

It's easy, it's easier than it seems

It's easy, it's easier than it seems

Just go, I'll go, don't cry

I don't know, I don't know, but you fly, hey

Paper-cut to the heart

Oh, he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go

When I'm not in company is when you feel it most
If you keep my memory, hope you keep me close

Would you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea

Would you love me as I leave?

Dear, California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear, California

Would you love me as I leave?
Dear, California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear, California
