California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me All my friends are doing drugs to Drown out their anxiety California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me All my friends are doing drugs to Drown out their anxiety I don't wanna make all the same mistakes And it's such a tragedy California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me All the lights seem to love you And where you go, they all move When the cameras are on you I'm in the corner, cloud in a bright room And I don't wanna throw you Be the angel of bad news But I'm watching you shining, meanwhile, I'm dying Damn, what did I do? And I wish that I hated you It would help with these regrets I was so scared of losing you So I lost myself instead Yeah, I'm running out of space God, I hate this place now California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me (A mess of me) All my friends are doing drugs to Drown out their anxiety (Anxiety) I don't wanna make all the same mistakes And it's such a tragedy California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me (A mess of me) Feeling uptight, feeling let down Got no place to go I'm worn out from the runaround All I had left was you And I don't wanna wait no more It's been getting harder to pretend I don't wanna chase you anymore 'Cause I can't waste my time again California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me All my friends are doing drugs to Drown out their anxiety I don't wanna make all the same mistakes And it's such a tragedy California looks good on ya But it made a mess of me (A mess of me) A mess of me
