I knew that this was wrong as I

Stood reaching for the bedroom light


But she turned me on


So I turned it off

Every man has got his flaws


His breaking point, his sacred cause


And I had mine

But I crossed that line


Now I could never ask you to


Forgive me for the things I do

But if you ever need me


You know where I'll be


Meet me in California

I'll be there waiting for your call


I'll be there waiting for you


‘Cause you know in California

There's something better for us all


Meet me in California


This night was like a bible verse

With pages torn and missing words


Condemning me


And I'm on my knees

I wish that I could start again


Peel the past like sunburned skin


Right off of me

But it's not that easy


I don't wanna say goodbye


And I don't wanna make you cry

I just wanna see you smile again


‘Cause everything I used to be


Is waiting over there for me

This is a beginning not an end
