California ft. Taylor Louderman & Ally Cribb Lyrics

I whisper your name through the phone

I beg you to come back home

Unfamiliar laughter drowns out your voice

I promise I'm fine on my own

I wake in the night just to see

If you're in my room fast asleep

The feeling hits me as I open my eyes

And see the empty space between you and me

Cause when a small town boy

Loves a small town girl

He's gotta choose between her and his dreams

And when a small town boy

Leaves a small town girl

She's gotta heart forever ripped at the seams

California Oooh

Took you from me

I gathered your things and I called up your mom

I broke down and cried when she told me I'm strong

She always said she hoped you'd end up with me

But now she says that I should try to move on

Cause when a small town boy

Loves a small town girl

He's gotta choose between her and his dreams

And when a small town boy

Leaves a small town girl

She's gotta heart forever ripped at the seams

California took you away

From your life back here in the shadows

From our childhood memories

When we ran hand in hand

Through these streets

We swore we'd never leave

I still remember the day it all went dark

You were throwing your bags in the back of your car

And I stood on the steps just to see if you'd turn around

But you kept the car in drive and headed straight out of that town

Cause when a small town boy

Loves a small town girl

He's gotta choose between her and his dreams

And when a small town boy

Leaves a small town girl

She's gotta heart forever ripped at the seams

California
