I got a girl with dandelion eyes
Every time she blinks it sends us flying
Me and my girl got a different sense of time
She's the only thing that makes me scared to die
I got a girl with California skin
The way she breathes reminds me of the ocean
I got a girl who makes me want to sin
I'm quick to anger, she's quicker to forgive
Santa Monica, and that pacific highway west
Every curve and every word in her pretty little head
The redwood forest in her eyes a beauty so complex
The coastal hues of those baby blues that never quite find rest
I got a girl who's seen a lot of pain
I know that god will give and god will take
But lord if you could please don't let her go away
She's the only thing that makes me want to pray
