Caroline
I've been looking for the time to tell you nothing feels the same since I
Moved back from where you are
Words don't line up
Every time I try to lay them down, the godforsaken page rips out, and
Tears up into parts
I'm tearing into parts
'So hallelujah' reads the church sign on the sidewalk now I pass along
The five blocks to the amber colored door
What's it to you if I still believe in magic
See the beauty in our tragic and want to feel like there's something
More?
Since I told you that I love you and you said that isn't true
Because you treat love like a firework just to keep the sky a muse
You might find that given time, The fire burns right down the fuze
And you still stand too close
California
You can leave the money on the table and the silver and the halos of
The angels in her sky
But I adore you
So I'm getting on this train home and I'm letting all these stars go
I'm sleeping through the night
Since I told you that I love you and you said it might be true
But you treat love like a firework just to keep the sky amused
You might find that over time, and once the fire burns the fuze
You still stand too close
If I said again I love you, Would you say you know it's true?
We can treat love like a firework just to keep the sky amused
And we might find that given time, the fire burns right down the fuze
But I'm still standing close
