Jerk, California Lyrics

Love's a list of things
And I'm already late.
What will stay the same
In a body made to blame
Are the reasons and that's all.
As fast as you can drive,
And lost as you arrive.
They will be permanently...

And that's more than California could ever promise you.
More than California, California...
And it's only California staring back at you.
Only California, California...

Coincidence could trace
In chalk around this space,
Or shake out the dust and over us gently.
But the math is new again,
The numbers will do us in, oh yeah.
Not today, but one day like today

And songs for California are catching up with you.
Songs about California, California...
When we call it California, they named it after you.
You are California, California...

In sentences and in pieces of them,
You will be covered, or something.
And California, California...
California, California...
