California - The Bottom Line

I found a message on my phone

The night I ended up alone

You were the one who took me home

But I felt so lost as you let me go

And this is it

This where we’ll grow

This is all we know

This is where we’ll throw it all away

There goes my day dreams, day dreams

Someday they come to me and save me, save me

I won’t let them go away

And if this was all up to me

Hell I’d just up and leave

And I won’t even have to warn ya

I left my heart in California

Do you remember all the times?

That we laughed until we cried

I promised not to leave you

But my promises were lies

And if I had just one more chance

To do it all again

I would have stayed, you would have kept me

But this is it

This is where we grow

This is all we know

This is where we throw it all away

There goes my day dreams, day dreams

Someday they come to me and save me, save me

I won’t let them go away

And if this was all up to me

Hell I’d just up and leave

And I won’t even have to warn ya

I left my heart in California

I spend my nights

Stuck inside day dreams

With the lights on

Cos the pictures last longer than moments

In my memory

Except the regrets

Which always seem clearer to me

There goes my day dreams, day dreams

Someday they come to me and save me, save me

I won’t let them go away

And if this was all up to me

Hell I’d just up and leave

And I won’t even have to warn ya

I left my heart in California
