The words that you said in an offhand way
Still ringing through my head
Coming truer every day
I got no religion and I'm married to a town
You're in california and I am sinking down
With everything around you
Things you love and things you hate
Our song may be over
But you still resonate
I feel like sleeping sickness
And I smell of kerosene
I'm trying to stay warm
I'm not trying to keep clean
I'm living in a house with no pictures in the frame
Haunted by a ghost that only speaks your name
With everything around you
Things you love and things you hate
Our song may be over but you still resonate
And I won't let this love go free
Though your dreams don't drift to me
I can't escape your memory
Won't you ever let me be free
When everything you do or say
Still echoes in your gentle way
Two spoons in my coffee
One is sugar one is stone
The first makes it sweet and the second makes me numb
Maybe one day time will end my misery
Or maybe california will fall into that sea
With everything around you
Things you love and things you hate
Our song may be over
But you still resonate
