Hotels and cigarettes
And empty bars where I just sit
And contemplate the things that I can't know

And all I ask of you are honest words
Simple [bad word] place to lay my head when I get lost

Nothing here is right
Guess I'll shut my eyes [bad word] to California 'cause I've been lonely for you
We can stay up all night just to watch the [bad word] to California
Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight
Well I can't see the sky

I watch the waves disappear beneath the boardwalk
Then I blink my eyes
Stare farther down the beach

I'll get [bad word] this time on Boone's Farm wine
In my defense I'd like to say at least it's always sweet

Nothing here is tight
Guess I'll shut my eyes [bad word] to California 'cause I've been lonely for you
We can stay up all night just to watch the [bad word] to California
Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight
Well I can't see the sky

And I don't know if I believe I'm everything I should be
If I'd never been for you

Love
I am drowning in this change
It's washing everything I know and am confident with
Ah [bad word] to California 'cause I've been lonely for you
We can stay up all night just to watch the [bad word] to California
Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight
Well I can't see the sky
I can't see the sky [bad word] to California 'cause I've been lonely for you
(I can't see the sky)
We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise
(Lord I can't see the [bad word] to California
Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight
(I can't see it)
(I can't see it)
Well I can't see the sky
(I can't see it)
