Wouldn't hold you back No, I never would do that That don't mean I wanted you to go Playing dives on weekends Was a slow ride to a dead end You're headed west to find your pot of gold And I hope you do But if you don't If you're feeling cold in California Those LA stars just don't shine bright enough for you The snow back home ain't the only thing still falling I still remember how I used to warm you If you're cold in California Went out with a friend Of a friend, but that just ended With me finding myself another friend I've got a soft spot for those With the wind in their souls Ain't it funny what I love's what made you go? I don't blame you And I wouldn't change you If you're feeling cold in California Those LA stars just don't shine bright enough for you The snow back home ain't the only thing still falling I still remember how I used to warm you If you're cold in California (Cold in California) (Cold in California) (Cold in California) But if you're feeling cold in California (cold in California) Those LA stars (cold in California) just don't shine bright enough for you (Cold in California) The snow back home ain't the only thing still falling I still remember how I used to warm you If you're cold in California

All the hours spent absorbing static light Slowly accumulate, a ledger that defines The total worth and value of a life Spinning circles And all the promises so confidently made To a quiet friend under a quiet grave Of mountains to be moved Potential not to waste To be constructive What a disappointment All the hours lost to self-directed hate Slowly pile up 'til you can't bear the weight But it's only the brain's worst chemicals Talking fake And that falling sky is just this desert's rain And that ticking bomb is just the body's way Of spelling out in Morse code "This could be okay" And I know you made a choice A different one than mine And I know that that's your right And I know you'll be just fine And I kind of wish you had The same respect for mine But I don't want to fight Because I know I'll be just fine In time And we're further away From the view that inspired us And we're further away From the knife that sliced us And we're further away From the view that inspired us And we're further away From the knife that sliced us

In the champagne drought, I lost my mind So I started smoking cigarettes with boxed wine When I made a sound, my neighbors cried Said all my songs sound just like drunken lullabies Said I couldn't change, so I broke the mold And I put my dreams in bottles knowing they would float To a better place where I could be myself Don't wanna be another blonde doll on the shelf Every day all day Every day all day Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head And I like to think they're all my friends When I fall apart they put me back together again It's like they see and understand Every day, all day, every day when People show their teeth, don't bite your tongue Baby, you're a diamond shining with no lights on If it gives you peace, keep raising hell Every day all day Every day all day Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head I finally got what I wanted Yeah, I think that I found the way I finally got what I needed With the voices I have in my brain Ah-a, ah-a-ah-a I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head They won't stop until I'm dead Ah-a, every day all day Ah-a-ah-a, every day all day I hear choirs in my head, in my head
