And she said
"I like the way it is oh, out here in california
Some day I'll find my way"
Think twice and let it sink in
Like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay

Who would've guessed that a poet and a jewel
Would end up a liar and a tool
No ones expecting much at all
And I need to be alone
With words that you will never know inside
She's burning

And farther down
Keep spinning in circles
So kiss me now
And I will tell you
I like the way it is oh, out here in california
Some day I'll find my way
Think twice and let it sink in
Like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay

And I break
At the sound of the morning
The sounds so alarming to hear
Maybe life is not so bad
In another time would you still call my name?
Cause I can't hear you

And farther down
Keep spinning in circles
So kiss me now
And I will tell you
I like the way it is oh, out here in california
Some day I'll find my way
Think twice and let it sink in
Like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay

And I can't stop
Holding your grudge now
It's what I'm not
Part of your falling out
And all this time
We settle for less
