I've been here three years since July
And I've tried on a few more names
My head's still stuck in drive
But my body seems to feel the same.
This California sunshine
Is calling out your name in vain
It's saying that you're all mine
But I know you need time to change

I know that you're gone,
You've been burning hard and burning fast.
You said can't come home,
And they're not sure if this should last.
You know that I'm at home,
I'm right here when you're away.
In a year or two,
I'll come back, I'm there to stay.

You're so far from home,
the West Coast is sore from carrying you.
You've gotta do this one your own,
You said there's nothing I can do.
This California sunshine,
is calling out your name in vain.
It's saying that you're all mine,
But I know we need time to change.

I'll be right here
when you get back.
Your friends tell me
not to even bother.
I"ll contain
these heart attacks.
We always come right back
to one another.
