I can't change how
Feelings will be shown
Don't blame you
You're nervous on your own
Propose the worst and I'm the first in line
Despite the rest it's not a bad sign

You mean the world to mean
And
The city and my soul disagree
Last time round fast
I'll see you on the way down
Life's a funny thing
And you can't bring yourself to face it if you want to

Now I shake here
For your sake dear
I was raised and I was born here
I couldn't leave California if I tried to

I can't say it now
Where I'm going to go
When I figure it out
You'll be the first to know
Do you understand that it's out of these hands of mine?
Despite our plans I've got to draw the line

And you still mean the world to mean and
The city and my soul disagree
Last time round fast
I'll see you on the way down
Life's a funny thing
And you can't bring yourself to face it if you want to

Now I shake here
For your sake dear
I was raised and I was born here
I couldn't leave California if I tried to
If I tried to
If I tried to
If I tried to

I can't change how feelings will be shown
Don't blame you
You're nervous on your own
Propose the worst and I'm the first in line

Last time round fast
I'll see you on the way down
Life's a funny thing
And you can't bring yourself to face it if you want to

Now I shake here
For your sake dear
I was raised and I was born here
I couldn't leave California if I tried to

Now I shake here
For your sake dear
I was raised and I was born here
I couldn't leave California if I tried to
