Dear California Lyrics

by Vanessa Carlton

As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament
Weathering my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette
Dear California, it's been nice to know you
Tell me, will you miss me when I'm gone?

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e46149-vanessa_carlton~dear_california_lyrics.html ]
'Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
When I'm not in company is when you feel it most
If you keep my memory, hope you keep me close
Won't you love me as I leave?

This alchemy is making me suspicious
As if I slipped you some belladonna
That I crossed town to get,
Didn't you notice, my grand french exit?

Oh, he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
When I'm not in company, that's when you feel it most
If you keep my memory, hope you keep me close
Won't you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea, it's my only hope
It's just me and my pup and the open road
But your face is like a paper-cut to the heart
Slip away while you sleep

It's easy, it's easier than it seems
It's easy, it's easier than it seems
Just go, I'll go, don't cry
I don't know, I don't know, but you fly, hey

Paper-cut to the heart

Oh, he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
When I'm not in company is when you feel it most
If you keep my memory, hope you keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea
Would you love me as I leave?
(Dear, California)
Would you love me as I leave?
(Dear, California)

Would you love me as I leave?
(Dear, California)
Would you love me as I leave?
(Dear, California)
