California - CHVRCHES

Waste a month, waste a year

Waste the time you could've been here

Count the debt, count the tears

Count the truths and all of my fears

I didn't want to be cynical

Passing place for the soul

You were never predictable

Now I need to let it go

Found the song, played it back

Heard your voice under the feedback

Found a tape that was blank

Saw your face fading into black

I know love is delusional

And I hate when I'm wrong

Yours was never conditional

And now I need to get it gone

No one ever warns you

You'll die in California

Falling in a dream, you let, let go

No one ever seems to say, say so

No one ever tells you

There's freedom in the failure

Dying in a dream feels like home

No one ever seems to say, say so

Close my eyes, close my heart

Close the book I never meant to start

Say your name in the dark

No one said it would be this hard

I didn't go to the funeral

Heard you cry on the phone

Your voice was so beautiful

And now I need to let it go

No one ever warns you

You'll die in California

Falling in a dream, you let, let go

No one ever seems to say, say so

No one ever tells you

There's freedom in the failure

Dying in a dream feels like home

No one ever seems to say, say so

God bless this mess that we made ourselves

Pull me into the screen at the end and

God bless this mess that we made for ourselves

Pull me into the screen at the end

Pull me into the screen at the end

Pull me into the screen at the end

To the screen at the end
