Lyrics
California
The glass slipped out of my wet hands
And shattered when it fell off the sink
I knew what he would say
When he got home today
I cleaned up the glass and start to think?
Maybe I should go to California
Leave behind my cares and start to roam
Maybe I could start my life over again
With the sun of California as my home
His car pulled up and my arms trembled
It was just a glass but that?s not what he?d think
As he drew near
I could taste my fear
He raised his hand and swung at me
CHORUS
I swore to God the next time he?d raise his hand at me
That I?d leave that place
For the California sun
Maybe now that I?m in California
I can heal my wounds and start again
The Pacific Ocean washes over on me
It cleanses me and I?m free to start again
In California I can start again
I can start again
