you look so tempting standing there
i notice something in your eyes
i act on impulses alone
forgive my silence while we ride
california
this is something that you never saw coming
california
drop the blindfold while i bury my knife in you

wrap my hands around your neck
see my grin expand
just remember that you pushed me this far
see your color fade away
reach my hands out up to the sky
and remember that you pushed me this far

sit back, enjoy the scenic route
out here the leaves will never fall
lately you don't care much for me
but i never cared for you at all

take me home
take me away from this place
take me away from this place i don't know
back to my home
back to the place i call home

wrap my hands around your neck
see my grin expand
just remember that you pushed me this far
see your color fade away
reach my hands out up to the sky
and remember that you pushed me this far
sun is beading on my neck
sweat drips off my hands
just remember how we made it this far
california, here i am
nevermind who i brought along
just me happy that i made it this far
