And the alarm clock rang And the radio came on A note on your pillow Said that you had gone I thought we shared a moment Thought maybe you would stay But youre leaving for California Thousands of miles away If it wasnt love It was something like it Love at first sight? No, I dont buy that She caught my eye And roped me in I introduced myself And then it began The fall, we fell, so far down But we caught each other, kept ourselves from hitting the ground Just like I promised you, we fell into each other Never again, to fall into the arms of another I hurried to my car I knew I couldnt let you go Drove to the airport Just so I would know I did everything Just to make you stay But youre leaving for California Thousands of miles away But you left I was too late I ran beside your window Until your plane flew away Hit the glass Id run as far as I could But knew I hadnt run As far as I should To the end of the ocean To the end of the world To hold you in my arms Like Ive never done before I turned around to leave Only to see you standing right in front of me I ran to you, and you ran to me Threw yourself in my arms And told me youd never leave That California wasnt nearly as perfect as this That California was something you wouldnt miss The fall, we fell, so far down But we caught each other, kept ourselves from hitting the ground Just like I promised you, we fell into each other Never again, to fall into the arms of another
