California

[Verse 1]
It was a long way to go
From Louisiana to Laredo
With everything that they owned
Boxed up in the back of a van
She would have gone to the moon
If that's what it took to follow him
It's funny what love makes you do

[Verse 2]
Standing alone
There in the kitchen she's packing up plates again
Standing alone
She is remembering every fight with him
Thinking alone
What am I doing here in this ghost town?
Now that he's gone
There isn't a reason for me to stick around

[Chorus]
And she says maybe I'll move to California
With the unbroken part of my heart I still have left
Maybe I'll fall in love again someday
I'm not gonna hold my breath
I'm not gonna hold my breath

[Verse 3]
Which way to go
When every road leads away from the things you wanted
Which way to go
When every memory is built like a home that's haunted
Closing your eyes
Dream of a place where things turn out the way you plan
Everything dies
Dream of a place where the living resides again

[Chorus]
And she says maybe I'll move to California
With the unbroken part of my heart I still have left
Maybe I'll fall in love again someday
I'm not gonna hold my breath
I'm not gonna hold my breath

[Bridge]
Maybe I'll move to California
With the unbroken part of my heart I still have left
Maybe I'll fall in love again someday

[Chorus]
Maybe I'll move to California
With the unbroken part of my heart I still have left
Maybe I'll fall in love again someday
I'm not gonna hold my breath
I'm not gonna hold my breath
I'm not gonna hold my breath
