Lyrics

California Sober

Cashin' in my chips for forgiveness Trading in my shame for perspective Tired of being known for my sickness It didn't work, I'm tryin' something different, I Healing got me lookin' for freedom Happiness, it used to be fleeting History was always repeating Not anymore I'm California sober It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors That I only just discovered, now I'm California sober California sober (ahh, I) Used to live in fear of always slipping But living for perfection isn't living, I I ran a little slower, now I'm tripping, I A beautiful and magical beginning, I Healing got mе lookin' for freedom Happiness, it used to be fleeting History was always rеpeating Not anymore I'm California sober It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors That I only just discovered, now I'm California sober California sober Trading judgment for freedom Found somethin' new to believe in Somethin' inside of me screaming Don't be so hard on yourself Look up, somethin' has shifted My heavy spirit is lifted I found myself I'm California sober It doesn't have to mean the growin' part is over No, it ain't black or white, it's all of the colors (yeah, yeah) That I only just discovered Now I'm California sober California sober I, California sober, I California sober
