California

You looked at me that night I spent in California The first thing you said to me was I'm not cut out for this life Will you try to comfort me and love me cuz my mind is stuck So we went out to the sea in a car that makes a van look like a truck The waves crashed merrily on rocks at the base of the bluff We stood on top quietly as the sun began to drop Some bird squawked at me and my heart began to stop First my would would freeze and my sadness having no counterpart And my heart would lay heavy thinking about everything I have done At least my lungs aren't burning like the city At least my lungs aren't burning inside of me
