"California Won't" lyrics

California won't tell you everything's alright
Let you wipe the tears you cry
On the sleeve of my favorite shirt
Lift you up when you're hurt
And wrap you in a blanket when you're cold

California won't kiss you under the bleacher seats
Seven minutes left in quarter three
Learn with you what first time means
Write your name in window steam
Know every piece of you that no one knows
California won't

It'll give you sunshine, the bright lights
The blue waves, the red wine
The soft wind drives on the Malibu coast
And Saturday nights and velvet rose
The star zone, the sidewalks, the big dreams, the small talks
But I'll hold you close and make it feel like home

California won't help you carry out your bags
Take and make sure you got gas
Try to wrestle with the fact
You're probably never comin' back
And love you more than you could ever know
California won't

It'll give you sunshine, the bright lights
The blue waves, the red wine
The soft wind drives on the Malibu coast
And Saturday nights and velvet rose
The star zone, the sidewalks, the big dreams, the small talks
But I'll hold you close and make it feel like home
California won't

It'll give you sunshine, the bright lights
The blue waves, the red wine
The soft wind drives on the Malibu coast
And Saturday nights and velvet rose
The star zone, the sidewalks, the big dreams, the small talks
But I'll hold you close and make it feel like home

California won't tell you everything's alright
California won't wipe away the tears you cry
California won't
