Text: Vanessa Carlton. Dear California.

As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament
Weather in my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette
Dear California, it's been nice to know ya
Tell me will you miss me when I'm gone?

Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

This alchemy is making me suspicious (Oooh-oooh)
As if I slipped you some belladonna
that I crossed town to get, don't you know?
Yes, my grand friend checks it


Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea, it's my only hope
It's just me and my pup in the open road
But your face is like a paper cut to the heart
Slip away while you sleep

It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
Just go, I'll go, don't cry
Don't go, don't go, you still cry

I don't cry


Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea
Would you love me as I leave? (Dear California)
Would you love me as I leave? (Dear California)
Would you love me as I leave? (Dear California)
Would you love me as I leave? (Dear California)
