Lightning strikes in the same place twice every night In my bed while you give me advice How I should leave again Leave again And I've heard voices plenty of times They don't guide my choices I promise I'm fine Don't want to leave again Leave again Don't make me out to be something I'm not I'll admit when I'm wrong You're telling me stories you think I forgot I'm just playing along How can I mourn you when we still align It's okay if I bore you cause most of the time You can tell that I'm bored too The dead in my eyes You said I should have warned you Believe me I tried I couldn't leave again Leave again, again, again, again Don't make me out to be something I'm not I'll admit when I'm wrong You're telling me stories you think I forgot I'm just playing along Arise, my love California is waiting for us Arise, my love California is waiting It's always been waiting for us
