STUCK IN CALIFORNIA
Yearning in California
Lyrics
You focus on the kind of things
You pay attention to the things
That make me want to lie
That make me inclined to be dishonest
Like telephones and silent rings
Like phones that don't ring when I'm away
When I'm not by your side
And I'm not physically with you
Stuck in California
Feeling trapped in California
Cause I can’t afford ya
Because I can't financially afford to be elsewhere
Miss you kinda sorta
Missing you to some extent
I keep moving forward
I continue to progress despite the circumstances
Cover my eyes
Blinding myself to reality
Swim in the dark
Engaging in something difficult or obscure
You’re still a part of me
You're still a significant part of me
Falling apart
Feeling emotionally fragmented
It's torture
It's agonizing
Living without you
Existing without your presence
Loving you just came with strings
My affection for you came with complications
Playing violently over my words
Causing conflict or tension through speech
You forgot your sympathy
You've disregarded empathy
But I brought you flowers
I try to express affection despite difficulties
Stuck in California
Feeling stuck in California
Cause I can’t afford ya
Financial constraints prevent me from leaving
Miss you when I'm sober
Missing you when I'm clear-headed
I keep moving forward
Continuing to move forward despite challenges
Cover my eyes
Avoiding facing reality
Swim in the dark
Engaging in something difficult or obscure
You’re still a part of me
You remain an essential part of me
Falling apart
Feeling emotionally fragmented
It's torture
It's agonizing
Living without her
Existing without her presence
Tied up and bound
Feeling constrained and burdened
It's weighing me down down
It's pulling me down
Words without sound
Communication without impact
Come help me out
Asking for assistance
Come help me out
Repeated plea for help
Cover my eyes
Avoiding facing reality
Swim in the dark
Engaging in something difficult or obscure
You’re still a part of me
You're still an essential part of me
Falling apart
Feeling emotionally fragmented
It's torture
It's agonizing
Living without her
Existing without her presence
