California - Silverstein

Feel it, the calm after the storm

As still as I can be

I’m finally all alone

Until I fall asleep

Did I escape or am I captured?

Trapped in a cage of rear view mirror eyes

Triangles that look like faces

This is what I get

For my revenge, a hidden microphone

An amber alert implanted

Under my skin

It’s just in my head but

It takes me over

It makes me forget why I’m on my way

These four years feel like a hundred

West-bound

Driving all alone to make sure that you know

I’ve been running scared without you

I drove all night to tell you

In dreams I’ve seen your face with

Another in my place

I know it was another life but I never could forget you

I never could forget you

We set it up (we set it up)

Like a house of cards in a hurricane

We didn’t think it would ever make sense

He set us up (he set us up)

He knew just where to plant it

It knocked me over

It made me forget how I fell in love

How much I really cared

West-bound

Driving all alone to make sure that you know

I’ve been running scared without you

I drove all night to tell you

In dreams I’ve seen your face with

Another in my place

I know it was another life but I never could forget you

I never could forget you

You’ll see me there like a familiar stranger standing on the street

I’ll say a prayer, I’ll introduce myself like it’s the first time we’d ever meet

In California, I’d learn that sometimes you have to run away

In California, I’d find myself again

West-bound

Driving all alone to make sure that you know

I’ve been running scared without you

I drove all night to tell you

In dreams I’ve seen your face with

Another in my place

I know it was another life but I never could forget you
