California (Acoustic)

Feel it, the calm after the storm As still as I can be I'm finally all alone Until I fall asleep Did I escape or am I captured? Trapped in a cage of rear-view mirror eyes Triangles that look like faces This is what I get For my revenge, a hidden microphone An Amber Alert implanted Under my skin It's just in my head but It takes me over It makes me forget why I'm on my way These four years feel like a hundred West-bound Driving all alone to make sure that you know I've been running scared without you I drove all night to tell you In dreams I've seen your face with Another in my place I know it was another life, but I never could forget you I never could forget you We set it up (we set it up) Like a house of cards in a hurricane We didn't think it would ever make sense He set us up (he set us up) He knew just where to plant it It knocked me over It made me forget how I fell in love How much I really cared West-bound Driving all alone to make sure that you know I've been running scared without you I drove all night to tell you In dreams I've seen your face with Another in my place I know it was another life, but I never could forget you I never could forget you You'll see me there like a familiar stranger standing on the street I'll say a prayer (say a prayer) I'll introduce myself like it's the first time we'd ever meet In California (California) I'd learn that sometimes you have to run away In California (California) I'd find myself again West-bound Driving all alone to make sure that you know I've been running scared without you I drove all night to tell you (west-bound, in California) In dreams I've seen your face with (all night in California) Another in my place (west-bound) I know it was another life, but I never could forget you
