Jersey/California Life
It's there where I had left you.
it's then when I had known the reasons why.
A phrase that weighed the miles from decision.
You never called to stop it from goodbye.
*and after my car was packed
and the maps were spread like paint up on the dashboard.
My phone was never ringing, to tell me not to leave.
I'm driving the world tonight
with your face, on my mind
all exempt from feeling anything at all.
It's there where I had known you
now I live to breathe and think that your o.k
A world that held the life from your decision
to coming home and wanting me to stay
and after the sun came up and
made California take a breath from nothing
You still never thought to call me, to tell me I'm alive
I picture your face tonight
with your hair, in your eyes
all exempt from thinking, anything at all
and the months went by like years I didn't see you
I faked a smile, bearing gifts of little hope
this Christmas, will be my last time home
I still think of you, every time it snows
let the sun shine, while your hair dries
It's my Jersey California Life
That I live somewhere inside
From the valley, where my heart beats
Is the nights we grow to feel alive
I'm annulling our goodbyes...
