I'm admitting that I am confused cuz I've never been in what you've put me through and I wish that I had a single excuse to say that I've got nothing left to lose
You were always a metaphor to the things that you had to pretend you adored and a lesson alone is so much more than an answer you never tried asking for
You will one day find out that everything can fall down cuz life is keen on letting go when you live it all alone
Well we've got movies to the west and we've got football to the east and we've got highways passing by us but if I could say the least
it's that this all was never perfect but it's never gonna cease to be our home
Agreed?
Take off to the California coast they say you'll be a star I hope to God those city boys don't change the girl you are
but when you turn to head on home and check up on your friends will you...
Check your mirror and see yourself and check the pictures we have kept and tell yourself it's never been so wrong to pretend
That you knew everything bout yourself when you went off what they told you and not once had you felt like your frequent decisions were always mistakes and the chances you got were the ones you would take
I'm a little impressed with the fact that you're gone and I'm not so surprised that before too damn long you will end up the subject of every song bout a girl who was broken when she thought she was strong
We've got miles left to walk and a perfect view of space and we've got every single night where we would all just stare away
from the rooftop of your house to every dream we ever wondered if we'd face
Take off to the California coast they say you'll be a star I hope to God those city boys don't change the girl you are
but when you turn to head on home and check up on your friends will you...
Check your mirror and see yourself and check the pictures we have kept and tell yourself it's never been so wrong to pretend
That your world hasn't fallen apart you're unstitching the threads in all of your scars you're too proud to admit you're going too far with this goal that you set yourself
Take off to the California coast they say you'll be a star I hope to God those city boys don't change the girl you are
but when you turn to head on home and check up on your friends will you...
Check your mirror and see yourself and check the pictures we have kept and tell yourself it's never been so wrong to pretend
