[Verse 1]
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"
[Chorus]
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
[Verse 2]
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 (I never really cared)
[Chorus]
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
And I'm not coming home tonight
So don't wait up
'Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
