What if you said
You didn't want me to leave?
If I could see something inside
And I've got nothing left to hide

Lost track of days gone by
Blinded by the city lights

And all I can do is lay my cards on the table
Because it's a shame to know that
There's someone better for your love

There is something you should know
And I'm dying here without you
'Cause when the sun
Comes up and opens my eyes,
I'll still be here

What if I said,
"I need this to live?"
I can't give you what you wanted
When I'm a thousand miles away from you and I've
Lost track of weeks gone by
Caught in one more sleepless night

We'll still need California
And maybe someday we'll call it home

Oh
There is something you should know
And I'm dying here without you
'Cause when the sun
Comes up and opens my eyes,
I'll still be here

I thought I was fine
Then you came around
I need this now, I'm going home
What if I said to you,
"Choose between your dreams and the ones you love"?
(You said the choice was mine)
You said the choice was mine
We'll I've made up my mind

There is something you should know
I'm dying here without you

There is something you should know
And I'm dying here
Tired of being on my own
And I'm so fucking tired

When the sun comes up
And opens my eyes
I'll still be here
(2x)
Still be here

Whoa (5x)
