Lyrics:
I miss the sound of waking up to the mariachi
I miss the song of the ice cream man up on the hill
I miss the herds of cats running around my doorstep
But never drinking out of my bowl of milk
I guess I finally have to let go of this lifeboat
‘Cuz there’s another ship waiting to set sail
I know I’ll miss the beaches and the soul of the dirty concrete
But I’m leaving California all by myself
I came from the country
Tried to make it work
Gave it all I had
Dug my hands into the dirt
I walk down the pier and into the empty ocean
Taste the smell of the smog going round on the carousel
I guess I finally have to let go of this lifeboat
But I’m leaving California all by myself
I’m going to the country
Gonna try to make it work
Give it all I have
Dig my hands into the dirt
I miss the sound of you saying my name in that empty apartment
Your arm reaching out for tequila on the shelf
I miss the way that you held me in that lifeboat
But I’m leaving California all by myself
I had to leave California all by myself
