Miranda Lambert - California Lyrics

I met him on the edge of a goodbye
I was standing there with nowhere left to fly
I was young but never green
A little wiser than my time it seemed

He told me 'bout the places we could hide
Wild and kinda crazy most the time
My heart was hanging on his every line
I'd memorize his every thought

But the walls he had
Could never be brought down
And now he's not around
I guess I'm just a face left in the crowd

Oh California, please come back to me
Oh California, you're who I want to be
You live inside of me

A vivid picture plays inside my head
Of things you swore we'd never do again
And he put on that L.A. face
And he left me with a bittersweet taste of life
And that's enough to keep me alive

Oh California, please come back to me
Oh California, you're who I want to be
You live inside of me

I know you're lying somewhere
In the arms of destiny
Your memory, it still lingers here
And I'll never set it free

Oh California, please come back to me
Oh California, you're who I want to be
Live inside of me
You live inside of me
