Vanessa Carlton — Dear California

[Verse 1] As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament Weathering my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette Dear California, it's been nice to know ya Tell me, will you miss me when I'm gone? [Chorus 1] 'Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go When I'm not in company is when you feel it most And you keep my memory, hope ya keep me close Would you love me as I leave? [Verse 2] This alchemy is making me suspicious As if I slipped you some belladonna That I crossed town to get Didn't you notice my grand French exit? [Chorus 1] Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go When I'm not in company is when you feel it most And you keep my memory, hope ya keep me close Would you love me as I leave? [Chorus 2] Ever-changing as the sea, it's my only hope It's just me and my pup in the open road But your face is like a paper-cut to the heart Slip away while you sleep [Bridge] It's easy, it's easier Than it seems It's easy, it's easier Than it seems Just go, I'll go, don't cry I don't know, I don't know, we'll be fine (Hey!) Paper-cut to the heart [Chorus 1] Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go When I'm not in company is when you feel it most And you keep my memory, hope ya keep me close Would you love me as I leave? [Outro] Ever-changing as the sea Would you love me as I leave? Dear California Would you love me as I leave? Dear California Would you love me as I leave? Dear California Would you love me as I leave? Dear California
