Golden State

I watched the sun come up over LAX

I watched the hills pour east through the plains of Texas

I cleansed myself, and wiped my memory

I watched the coast pull close in a western bay

I saw the desert sky in the pouring rain

So I washed myself, and wished you'd do the same

'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you "Oh, now I miss you"

And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate

I watched the moon stand up to the Rio Grande

I watched myself rise up from beneath the sand

And I knew, that I was here to stay

Maybe my head is clouding up my brain

But I think it's for the best for you to be on your way

'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you "Oh, now I miss you"

And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate

Oh I'm never gonna lie and say "without you here, it's just not the same"

'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade

Meant to fade

Oh I'm not gonna turn around and tell you "Oh, now I miss you"

And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate

Oh I'm never gonna lie and say "without you here, it's just not the same"

'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade
