You've felt alone since you were only seven |
|
Your mother didn't have a clue what to do |
|
You cried each night until you were eleven |
|
You prayed that God would bring your daddy back to you |
|
It got much worse when you were in high school |
|
From guy to guy, you wondered why you never felt a thing |
|
You wondered if you'd ever find a lover who'd someday |
|
Get down on his knees, holding that diamond ring |
|
This summer's taking me to California |
|
But I won't go until you know that what I say is true |
|
When everything you've ever loved has left you, |
|
I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for you |
|
Your senior year, you and your friends went crazy |
|
But then you found out who your friends really were |
|
You were betrayed by everyone that mattered |
|
So you drank until it all became a blur |
|
But don't forget about when I first met you |
|
Well, I can see a pain too deep to kiss away |
|
You thought that I would be another let down |
|
So here I am, proving to you that I am here to stay |
|
This summer's taking me to California |
|
But I won't go until you know that what I say is true |
|
When everything you've ever loved has left you, |
|
I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for you |
|
I don't wanna leave you lonely |
|
I just wanna be right here |
|
Even if you don't believe me, |
|
I will try to make it clear |
|
This summer's taking me to California |
|
But I won't go until you know that what I say is true |
|
When everything you've ever loved has left you, |
|
I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for... |
|
This summer's taking me to California |
