Jersey/california Life lyrics

it's there where I had left you and it's then when I had known the reasons why a phrase that weighed the miles from decision and you never called to stop it from goodbye and after my car was packed and the maps were spread like paint up on the dashboard my phone was never ringing to tell me not to leave

I'm driving the world tonight with your face on my mind all exempt from feeling anything at all

it's there where I had known you now I live to breathe and think that your o.k. a world that held the life from your decision to giving up and wanting me to stay and after the sun came up and let california take it's breath from nothing you still never thought to call me to tell me not to leave

I picture your face tonight with your hair in your eyes all exempt from feeling anything at all

and the months went by like years I didn't see you I faked a smile bearing gifts of little hope this christmas will be my last time home

I still think of you every time it snows:

let the sun shine while your hair dries it's my jersey/california life that I live somewhere inside from the valley where my heart beats is the nights we grow to feel alive I'm enulling our goodbyes:
