I never walk, I always run
Hey, I don't wanna look, but I’ll stare right at the sun!
Trying not to jump the gun
'Cause like mirrors and smoke, this is all a joke

Life feels dryer than California
In July, on your mouth when I kissed ya
On my couch, and I made you listen
To all the songs that I wish I had written

And I went out on a limb
Fell for you and almost broke my wrist
Had a spark because of this
Let us laugh 'til I choke
Be the butt of a joke

Life feels dryer than California
In July, on your mouth when I kissed ya
On my couch, and I made you listen
To all the songs that I wish I had written

You could be anything to me
I could be anything to you
The booze and drugs all wear off...
And I think I still like you!

The sun comes up over California
I’m in too deep, and I wanna kiss ya
On your lips while I make you listen
To all the shit that I wish I had written!

We caught fire like California
In July, on the night when I kissed ya
On my couch, and I made you listen
To all the songs that I wish I had written
