[Verse 1]
I was doomed from the start, pretty face and a rebel heart
So much dancing, Polaroids and cowboy hats, woah
I was high, you were drunk, we was only having fun
And I know that I'm supposed to just forget, woah
[Chorus]
So let me know when you get back to California
Maybe we can figure out where we went wrong
And I'd really like to see you, is there somewhere I can meet you?
'Cause I'm paralyzed and weak here on my own
[Post-Chorus]
On my own
Paralyzed and weak here on my own
[Verse 2]
Shooting stars come and go, but I wanted you to know
That I've never met nobody quite like you, woah
You were gone in a flash, never had a chance to ask
Did I make this shit up in my head or do you feel it too?
[Chorus]
So let me know when you get back to California
Maybe we can figure out where we went wrong
And I'd really like to see you, is there somewhere I can meet you?
'Cause I'm paralyzed and weak here on my own
[Post-Chorus]
On my own
Paralyzed and weak here on my own
On my own
I'm paralyzed and weak here on my own
On my own
Paralyzed and weak here on my own
