If it all was a dream then it was worth the memories
|
If I make it out alive then know that this got the best of me
|
My knuckles are white but I can't get a grip
|
If this is the last song I write
|
I'll make all the words fit
|
|
From the roof of this house
|
I watch the sun go down
|
On the town that I've cursed since I turned 16
|
A set of keys, I was California dreamin'
|
Drive, just drive
|
|
And I've been saying that I changed my ways
|
Disharmony seems to be my favorite word lately
|
And love had its hand up but I pushed it away
|
And I damn myself for the words I didn't say
|
And all the things I said I wouldn't do, I've done
|
When things get hard all I think to do is run
|
But all I want is something to call my own
|
|
I let my heart, woah, get the best of me this time
|
I lost myself and all that mattered most to me
|
But one thing doesn't make a man
|
One thing doesn't make a man
|
|
I can't believe all the things that I've seen
|
I was moving so fast, forgot to take it all in
|
It's the sad times and tears, and being alone
|
That makes you think of the times that mattered most
|
And now it's 5 years later and I'm still all alone
|
My closest thing to a friend, quarter dime in a payphone
|
And now I'm feeling all the pain that I've caused
|
Behind this broke down piano in the back of this bar
|
|
So this is California
|
The sun still sets the exact same was as back home
|
On that rooftop, the sun still sets the same
|
|
I let my heart, woah, get the best of me this time
|
I lost myself and all that mattered most to me
|
But one thing doesn't make a man
|
But one thing doesn't make a man
|
|
The lies I told, the hearts I broke
|
The things I had, I never told
|
The tip of my tongue, fingertips
|
Translate every word I must have missed
|
Forgot to mention when I lived back home
|
And now I'm going back to the only thing I ever knew
|
|
Woah, oh, get the best of me this time
|
I lost myself and all that mattered most to me
|
But one thing doesn't make a man
|
|
I let my heart, woah, get the best of me this time
|
I lost myself and all that mattered most to me
|
But one thing doesn't make a man
|
But one thing doesn't make a man
|
