Leaving California Lyrics by Butcher Babies
(Feat. Judge & Jury)
This isn’t where we thought we’d be
When we were younger
I’m leaving California
I thought that I could love ya
We should’ve figured it out sooner
I should’ve known better
Than to say forever
(To say forever)
I thought that we would live in peace
The kids would know their cousins
I didn’t see it coming
And neither did you
And you gave me all you could
But now we see the truth
I’m leaving California
I thought that I could love ya
We should’ve figured it out sooner
I should’ve known better
Than to say forever
(To say forever)
The boxes line the hallway
This silence feels much louder
I found your note beside the sink
Just two lines on torn paper
You said, “Don’t forget the better days.”
That part of us, I’ll always remember
I’m leaving California
I thought that I could love ya
We should’ve figured it out sooner
I should’ve known better
Than to say forever
(Than to say forever)
I’ll miss the smell of ocean air
The way you’d run your fingers there
Through tangled hair and peaceful nights
We had some wrongs
But so much right
I’m leaving California
I thought that I could love ya
I should’ve known better
I’m leaving California
I thought that I could love ya
We should’ve figured it out sooner
We should’ve known better
Than to say forever
To say forever
I’m leaving California
Thought that I could love ya
Should have known better
