California

Baby I’ve been dyin' To be where you are Honey I’ve been tryin' But you’re always too far So now I don’t know where Where it is I’m supposed to begin And now I can’t remember Where it is I’ve already been All this shit I'm writing don’t sound like it’s comin' from me I’m so damn lost and tired what is it I’m supposed to be? I go down to the coast to try and wash my body clean But I wind up wet and empty wonderin' what it all means. I was hoping you could Take away some of this pain Strip away my confusion Give my thoughts some kind of name But now it doesn’t seem that You have any answers for me Or at least any wisdom That you’re givin' out for free The tricks my mind’s been playing on me just never seem to end I'm tired of all these carved up faces saying that we’re friends I carefully tread, I laugh, pretend, but it’s slowly killing me Whatever’s on the surface is getting sucked down underneath I try and tell the difference 'tween the sky and the sea But nothing out there changes or at least not enough to see.
