"King Of California" lyrics

Now once there was a time
I dreamt on down the line
Of being King of California

Lost in that cliché
We drifted our own ways
You know I'm always happy for you

And all my best laid plans
Fall like castles made of sand
A King fooled by a Joker

When I'm anxious, I am mean
And I did that to the Queen
I think I may have broke it

I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl

We both played the game
Got married, you kept your name
We thought we were wiser

Than our Mum and Dads
Turns out we're just the same
Shitty compromisers

And all the time that's passed
Through our hourglass
Girl, we're only getting older

All the wood that we collect
And all the fires we keep
How come it's getting colder?

I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl
When all is said and done
When all is said and done

Long and lonely road
Please tell me where I am
Ain't King of California, that's for sure

Turns out what we had
Is something you can't fake
And I cannot ignore you...

I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl
I only want it with you, girl
When all is said and done
When all is said and done
When all is said and done
When all is said and done
When all is said and done
