"Butterfly Effect (Afterword)" lyrics

Yeah, I miss California
A place that I should warn ya
You'll probably fall in love with, if you ever go

Sure there's still bills to pay
Life can sometimes get away
But I know my love is waiting for me back at home

She lives the actors dream
A nightmare too at times it seems
And I still cannot believe I married a movie star

She listens to her music
While my mind runs adrift
I wonder who I'd be If I never played guitar

My sister has two kids
The other lives in Washington
My brother is best friend
My other best friend passed away

I try to call my parents
They're always running errands
They love to tell their stories and listen when I play

I don't like it when things change
Its not that I want my life plain
To be honest I just hate that my dog is going grey

And I'm not sure what this is
Perhaps a record that I lived
Or maybe its just what happens when you turn thirty-eight

So if you're in California
Don't say I didn't warn ya
Its been nice getting to know ya, the last thing that I'll say

Don't be afraid to take your time
Fuck things up and step out of line
You only do this thing one time, so live your life that way

And it's okay to love and cry
Start new things and say good-bye
Don't take life for granted and
Be careful when you step on butterflies
