Dear California - Vanessa Carlton

As usual, I’m in a tricky predicament

Weather in my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette

Dear California, it’s been nice to know ya

Tell me, will you miss me when I’m gone?

'Cause he loves me as I leave, so I’m gonna go

And I’m not in companies when you feel it most

And you keep my memory, hope ya keep me close

Would you love me as I leave?

This alchemy is making me suspicious

As if I slipped you some belladonna

That I crossed town to get, don’t you know?

Yes, my grand friend checks it

Oh he loves me as I leave, so I’m gonna go

And I’m not in companies when you feel it the most

And you keep my memory, hope ya keep me close

Would you love me as I leave?

Ever-changing as the sea, it’s my only hope

It’s just me and my pup in the open road

But your face is like a paper-cut to the heart

Slip away while you sleep

It’s easy, it’s easier

Than it seems

It’s easy, it’s easier

Than it seems

Just go, I’ll go, don’t cry

I don’t know, I don’t know, but you fly

(Hey!)

Paper-cut to the heart

Oh he loves me as I leave, so I’m gonna go

And I’m not in companies when you feel it most

And you keep my memory, hope ya keep me close

Would you love me as I leave?

Ever-changing as the sea

Would you love me as I leave?

Dear California

Would you love me as I leave?

Dear California

Would you love me as I leave?

Dear California

Would you love me as I leave?

Dear California
