california

Parking lots and dirty thoughts and shoes I could take with me Apartment doors and I ignore the ending of this story You're from a small town, deep south on the Carolina border I'm a rogue soul you could take home but I live just around the corner Harmless fun and class A drugs and snare drums in my rib cage Raise a toast, I overflow with speeches that I won't say In the streetlights, I'm on fire Do you feel the way I'm feeling? Like gravity can't touch me Fall through the floor but we hit the ceiling Metal vest throwing off the scent, but I think you're just like me Clumsy falling, way too honest Packing bags before the words can freeze Out of the suburbs, out to the coast I know I'll be better, I know I'll be wrong But I'll run 'til I hit the ocean, 'til all my inhibitions fold in And if an earthquake can hit Southern California I wouldn't say you were right but I would call you, I know Yeah I would call you, just know Out on a limb and in on a secret Hand on my waist, don't say that I'm freezing 'Cause we, we just wanna be loved Aftershock and should we talk Are you even awake yet? The apple fell, see you in hell Swear you could taste the temptation It was a long time coming and a short walk home And I said nothing when you picked up the phone But if you give me something I'll rob you blind Make you forget every feeling you knew before mine In a backseat, like we're eighteen Like you don't know what it's like 'til you sink in your teeth 'til my gums bleed, and you call peace On a full out battalion, I'm down on my knees You said you could wreck me, I think you should prove it You can't threaten me I get off on delusion So I keep my mouth shut and you let me do it Knowing damn well, this goes south, no crime could be proven In mid-July heat and some house party bedroom Bass through the door I can feel up against you Up for a breath I see stars and he says "Do you have any idea how long I've wanted to do that?" If an earthquake can hit Southern California I wouldn't say you were right but I would call you, I know Can I call you on my way home? I read the signs and you read my mind We're keeping secrets and wasting our time 'cause we, we just wanna be loved We just wanna be loved We just wanna be loved We just wanna be loved We just wanna be loved
