[Verse 1]
California's beautiful
I bet some people don't think so
I take a lap around the hotel
I take a picture of myself

You changed your hair
You changed your name
Your accent, people can't quite place
Your second marriage, couple of kids
You say it isn't different, but it is

[Chorus]
I'm peeking through the bandages
To see if I can handle it
I hope I don't remember this
I hope I don't forget again

[Verse 2]
Endangered birds, the birthday girl
Wasting wishes on this world
Remember airplane bottles in our pockets
Pissing on my only options

Now you're rubbing rosebuds in between your wrists
And I am an embarrassment
Shirt and tie, like pulling teeth
He's everything I'll never be
[Chorus]
I'm peeking through the bandages
To see if I can handle it
I hope I don't remember this
I hope I don't forget again
I hope I don't forget again
I hope I don't forget again
I hope I don't forget again
