The sun is bleeding through the blinds
We murdered yet another night
I close my eyes and swallow pain
My body aches like Saturday
I'm one to watch and you're one to say
I never really cared
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
My eyes are sensitive to sight
And my skin burns under the light
I shut my eyes and sound the end
Of what I thought was my best bet
And all that's left is left unsaid
But I never really cared
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
I'll count headlights on the way back home
Each one holds a wish and a secret toll
Of all the girls who twist my thoughts in ways
That make me smile and suffocate
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
