Lyrics
Maybe you can walk away
But I know that I?m not leaving
Cause I still love the mess you made
Of my life in California
When we met we met halfway
Between need and desolation
I went drifting in your eyes
Fell like stars straight out of heaven
Chorus:
Should?ve never closed my eyes
Maybe that?s the reason why
You went running back to Georgia
I?m just another casualty left to grieve in California
Got that picture in a frame
The one we took for a few quarters
Back in that broken down arcade
I had it made so I?d remember
How it felt to be the one
Who you needed to be with you
You left a piece of me undone
You took enough to see yourself through
(Chorus)
And now I bleed and there?s nothing left for me
But to grieve for what?s never gonna be?in California
(build to instrumental and to last chorus)
Should?ve never closed my eyes
Maybe that?s the reason why you went running
Running back, running back oh no
I?m just another casualty left to grieve in California
