what if you said,
you didn't want me to leave?
if you could see something inside,
and i've got nothing left to hide?
lost track of days gone by,
blinded by the city lights.

and all i can do is lay my cards on the table,
'cause it's a shame to know that,
there's something better for your love.

there is something you should know,
and i'm dying here without you,
'cause when the [bad word] up,
and opens my eyes,
i'll still be here.

what if i said i need this to live?
i can't give you what you wanted,
when i'm a thousand miles away from you,
and i've lost track of weeks gone by,
caught in one more sleepless night.

we'll still meet in california,
and maybe someday we'll call it home.
HOME.

i thought i was fine,
then you came around.
well i need this now, i'm going home.
what if i said to you,
choose between your dreams or the ones you love?
you said the choice was mine.
well i've made up my mind.

there is something you should know,
and i'm dying here without you,

there is something you should know,
and i'm dying here,
tired of being on my own,
and i'm so [bad word] tired.
'cause when the [bad word] up,
and opens my eyes,
i'll still be here.

WOAH
