Well I left you in California
When you said that I wasn't the one
And you held my hand so tightly and said
"Oh but Darling you're the one I love"
And I don't want to grow old
Cause I know that mean we'll grow apart
But I know that sometime
somewhere down the line
we will get one more chance to restart
Oh And I hope you end up happy
Cause i'm tired of hearing you cry
Oh you call me up at 3am
And say "I can't get a grip on this life"
So i'll take you out for coffee
And we'll drive to the hills out west
And we'll stare at city lights
All through the night
As the sky slowly gets undressed
But what could I say
To make it all okay
And tell me every word
You need to hear so you don't feel hurt
Well you don't call anymore
And now you're passed out on somebodies floor
And you don't give a fuck or a shit about love
Last time we talked you said "grow the fuck up"
Oh cause i'll die at 27
Heard there's a club that can't get to heaven
Oh and if you ever need relief
Just grab a lighter paint it white and breathe
But what could I say
To make it all okay
And tell me every word
You need to hear so you don't feel hurt
Well I saw you here last winter
And we talked just like time had froze
And I looked you in the eyes and said that I loved you the same
You grabbed my hands and you said "I know"
But our love was for a different time
And like every good thing it too will pass
But i'll hope and i'll hope with all of my might
That a part of us gets to last
Oh that a part of us gets to last
