[Verse 1]
Tear our pictures off the walls
Til they're all empty and bare
Put your stuff in a box
Send a text that says "take care"
My bags are packed, I've got everything I need
If I look back then I'm never gonna leave
Half an hour til I've gotta go
There's still time for you to show up but you don't
[Chorus]
I'm on my way to California
I'm sorry I'm not strong enough to stay
But summertime in Houston reminds me what I'm losin'
So I think that I'll spend August in L.A
I'm on my way to California
[Verse 2]
I wonder if you think of me
While I'm awake in the hotel bed
I'm so tired of losing sleep
Over closure I know I'll never get
I don't know who I am if I'm not yours
My last goodbye in a letter on your porch
I hope it broke your heart when you read what I wrote
But you could always call me and you don't
[Chorus]
I'm on my way to California
I'm sorry I'm not strong enough to stay
But summertime in Houston reminds me what I'm losin'
So I think that I'll spend August in L.A
[Bridge]
I'll be fine in California
Clear my mind in California
I'll forget you walked away
When I make it to L.A
But you won't be mine in California
[Chorus]
I'm on my way to California
I'm sorry I'm not strong enough to stay
But summertime in Houston reminds me what I'm losin'
So I think that I'll spend August in L.A
