California
There’s a fog on the highway
It lays a mist on everything
There’s shadows on the pavement, making shapes I know the name of
There’s a song that you turn on and start to sing
There was blood in the dye
And my blue inside her eyes
On a January night
You said it felt cold but
Much warmer than the winters you had known
From an unforgotten place that you call home
And California, fell into the waves
It feels like everything that’s broken, must come here to break
And I want to tell you something
And there’s no use in telling you I’ve changed
So we rolled the windows up as the sun broke on the dawn
It could have been six years ago when we made that morning song
The sky was turning periwinkle
Reminds me to forget, a little
That colors that she loved, when she was alive
You say I think I’ll find another way to die
There’s a thousand ways to pray
Maybe more ways to be saved
We made it up the coast in just enough days
You only see the stars in the darkest of skies, you said
So we drove off the highway that night
California fell into the waves
It feels like everything that’s broken, must come here to break
And I want to tell you something
But there’s no use in telling you I’ve changed
I wish I could say something to shake
The silence we’ve created
The silence that we’re making
The silence we’ve created
There’s a fog on the highway
It lays a mist on everything
There’s shadows on the pavement, making shapes I know the name of
There’s a melody, it’s coming back to me
I roll the windows down and start to sing
