California

It seems so long ago
Our seed found its home
So fragrant as it grew
Red rose of withered bloom
I keep it all in my head

The walls here have changed
Painted with your memories
I see your body
Your body floating in such reverie
I know you'll come down
Oh god, don't come down here with me
I keep it all in my head

[Guitar Solo]

I fall backwards through the madness
Greeting with a smile that never fades
Because we got this
We're in the only thing that matters
This is all a dream
I'm still in time to save you
Stay away from me
If we leave it here we have forever
It dies if we leave
As I run away from my dream

Don't follow me out to California
Won't you let me stay here
With your kisses on my ear
Don't follow me out
