Out Here In California Lyrics

And she said
"i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day i'll find my way"
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay

who would've guessed that a poet and a jewel
would end up a liar and a tool
no ones expecting much at all
and i need to be alone
with words that you will never know inside
shes burning

and farther down
keep spinning in circles
so kiss me now
and i will tell you
i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day ill find my way
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay

and i break
at the sound of the morning
the sounds so alarming to hear
maybe life is not so bad
in another time would you still call my name?
cause i cant hear you

and farther down
keep spinning in circles
so kiss me now
and i will tell you
i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day ill find my way
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay

and i can't stop
holding your grudge now
its what i'm not
part of your falling out
and all this time
we settle for less
