i met him on the edge of a good bye i was standing there with no where left to fly i was young but never green a little wiser than my time it seemed he told me bout the places we could hide wild and kind of crazy most the time my heart was hanging on his every line i memorized his every thought but the walls he had could never be brought down and now he s not around i guess i m just a face left in the crowd oh california please come back to me oh california you re who i want to be live inside of me a vivid picture plays inside my head the things you swore we d never do again and he put on that la face and he left me with a bittersweet taste of life and thats enough to keep me alive i know you re lying somewhere in the arms of destiny your memory it still lingers here and i ll never set it free oh california please come back to me oh california you re who i want to be live inside of me
