| I dipped my toes in the ocean today
|
| I felt the sun shining down on my face
|
| There isn’t even one single cloud in the sky
|
| The only sign of doubt is the one that’s behind me
|
| So tell me, how are you?
|
| What did you think that I would do
|
| When I told you I was leaving?
|
| You didn’t blink, you just assumed
|
| That you’re the one I needed
|
| And I tried, and I tried, and I tried some more
|
| And then I thought what is all this trying for
|
| Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
|
| Goodbye from California
|
| I’m in my flip flops on Hollywood and Vine
|
| I heard it snowed another foot there last night
|
| And even though the life I have at home is ending
|
| I’ve really got a feeling that it’s all beginning now
|
| So tell me, how are you?
|
| What did you think that I would do
|
| When I told you I was leaving?
|
| You didn’t blink, you just assumed
|
| That you’re the one I needed
|
| And I tried, and I tried, and I tried some more
|
| And then I thought what is all this trying for?
|
| Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
|
| Goodbye from California
|
| Now that I’ve had a taste
|
| Got no more time to waste
|
| With my head up in the clouds
|
| Is that a lump in your throat
|
| As you’re reading what I wrote?
|
| It’s over now
|
| What did you think that I would do
|
| When I told you I was leaving?
|
| You didn’t blink, you just assumed
|
| That you’re the one I needed
|
| And I tried, and I tried, and I tried some more
|
| And then I thought what is all this trying for?
|
| Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
|
| What did you think that I would do
|
| When I told you I was leaving?
|
| You didn’t blink, you just assumed
|
| That you’re the one I needed
|
| And I tried, and I tried, and I tried some more
|
| And then I thought what is all this trying for?
|
| Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
|
| Goodbye from California |
