The sun is bleedin' through the blinds?We murdered yet another night?I close my eyes and swallow pain?My body aches like Saturday?I'm one to watch and you're one to say, "I never really cared"??And I'm not comin' home tonight?So don't wait up?'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California (California)?
My eyes are sensitive to sight?And my skin burns under the light?I shut my eyes and sound the end?Of what I thought was my best bet?And all that's left is left unsaid but
I never really cared (I never really cared)??And I'm not comin' home tonight?So don't wait up?'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
(2x)??I'll count headlights on the way back home?Each one holds a wish and a secret toll?Of all the girls who twist my thoughts in ways?That make me smile and suffocate??And I'm not comin' home tonight?So don't wait up?'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
(4x)

Gets this cold in California
