There's a sunny place

in Southern California where I can go,

when I need a break from the world I know

that times will get harder, but

I'll stay the same no matter the change

And when I arrive,

I'll throw down my bags on the floor and I

I'll thank the world I've got these friends of mine,

that sun that shines,

these songs that get me high

when I feel the need to sing

 

You gave up when you left me for the west,

guess the coast and the ocean calm your stress

Now you're gone,

you left me in pieces

You gave up when you lost the words to say

When you find them, come on back to me

For now you're gone, and you left me in pieces

 

I've got those friends in mind,

that help me get through all the shitty times

I drink myself into these lullabies

that hide my eyes,

but help me to believe I'm not as stupid as you think Cause I show my pride

in the form of these black and blue colored eyes,

a sign that my love should be realized

Simple defines

an easy way to hide (yourself)

You threw my back against the wall

 

You gave up when you left me for the west,

guess the coast and the ocean calm your stress

Now you're gone, you left me in pieces

You gave up when you lost the words to say

When you find them, come on back to me

For now you're gone, and you left me in pieces

 

I think we're stuck here in between

misguided hearts that beat with apathy

Don't tell me that we've gone this far

without thinking of fate

 

You gave up when you left me for the west,

guess the coast and the ocean calm your stress

Now you're gone, you left me in pieces

You gave up when you lost the words to say

When you find them, come on back to me

For now you're gone, and you left me in pieces

 

I was down on my knees

when you left me in pieces
