California

Lyrics

Whisper your name through the phone I beg you to come back home Unfamiliar laughter drowns out your voice I promise I'm fine on my own I wake in the night just to see If you're in my room fast asleep The feeling hits me as I open my eyes And see the empty space between you and me Cus' when a small town boy Loves a small town girl He's gotta choose between her and his dreams And when a small town boy Leaves a small town girl She's gotta heart forever ripped at the seams California Oooh Took you from me I gathеred your things and I called up your mom I broke down and criеd when she told me I'm strong She always said she hoped you'd end up with me But now she says that I should try to move on Cus' when a small town boy Loves a small town girl He's gotta choose between her and his dreams And when a small town boy Leaves a small town girl She's gotta heart forever ripped at the seams California took you away From your life back here in the shadows From our childhood memories When we ran hand in hand Through these streets We swore we'd never leave I still remember the day it all went dark You were throwing your bags in the back of your car And I stood on the steps just to see if you'd turn around But you kept the car in drive and headed straight out of that town Cus' when a small town boy Loves a small town girl He's gotta choose between her and his dreams And when a small town boy Leaves a small town girl She's gotta heart forever ripped at the seams California, ohh I whisper your name through the phone I promise I'm fine on my own
