Golden State

[Verse 1] I watched the sun come up over LAX I watched the hills pour east through the plains of Texas I cleansed myself, and wiped my memory I watched the coast pull close in a western bay I saw the desert sky in the pouring rain So I washed myself, and wished you'd do the same [Chorus] Oh, I'm not gonna turn around and tell you, "Oh, now I miss you, hey" And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate [Verse 2] I watched the moon stand up to the Rio Grande I watched myself rise up from beneath the sand And I knew that I was here to stay Maybe my head is clouding up my brain But I think it's for the best for you to be on your way [Chorus] 'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you, "Oh, now I miss you, hey" And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate Oh, I'm never gonna lie and say, "Without you here, it's just not the same" 'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade Meant to fade [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Oh, I'm not gonna turn around and tell you, "Oh, now I miss you, hey" And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate Oh, I'm never gonna lie and say, "Without you here, it's just not the same" 'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade [Outro] Ladies and Gentlemen
