California

California, can you raise the dead?
Can you lift me up out of my bed?
When the sun is shining do people cry?
Do you get the blues from a grey sky?

You don’t know what it’s like to be cold
Stand up here ‘cuz I’m waiting, waiting

But it all falls away
When you go, you go away
Break my heart in a million pieces
Like a fault line running through my veins
And it all falls away

California, do you have a light?
That I can borrow but I won’t return
Shine on people shine on
Feel the wind in your lungs, don’t fade away

You don’t know what it’s like to be cold
Stand up here ‘cuz I’m waiting, waiting

But it all falls away
When you go, you go away
Break my heart in a million pieces
Like a fault line running through my veins

And it all falls away
And it all falls away
Up like the sun and I’m waiting

But it all falls away
When you go, you go away
Break my heart in a million pieces
Like a fault line running through my veins
A fault line running through my veins
A fault line running through my veins
