"California" lyrics

"California"

Maybe I'll never find someone
Maybe I'll always the be one
Who watches everybody else find love
They must be right I must be wrong
Think I've been losing for the longest time
Was I just nothing all along

Is it social sadness
By design?
Only silence inside

So tell me it's not over
I'm breaking quietly
I've been crossing my fingers and holding my breath
That she's round the corner
But it's not all happy endings
Life on silver screens
You can write all you want about love
Make it feel like it's out there for you
But this ain't California

Isn't it funny how we think
Everyone else has got it so much better
But nobody knows anything
Maybe I'll always gravitate
To people I will never be enough for
It's a currency my heart can't pay

Is it social sadness
By design?
Only silence inside

So tell me it's not over
I'm breaking quietly
I've been crossing my fingers and holding my breath
That she's round the corner
But it's not all happy endings
Life on silver screens
You can write all you want about love
Make it feel like it's out there for you
But this ain't California
