sometimes i wonder where you are   sitting alone in your father's car   breaking the law   waiting for the sun to come back up      'cause baby i never broke your heart   i tried real hard but you were much too smart   taking your time   waiting for your man to fall in love      and i want, and i want you   i want you to stay   and i'll try, and i'll try to   i'll try to explain   cuz i want, yeah i want you   i want you to stay for a while      i tried to write a song for you   the beautiful girl with a bad tattoo   shaking her ass   dancing to the beat inside her head      cuz you were the best when the times got hard   you slept on the roof just to see the stars   you were the one   waiting for the california sun      (chorus)      and i know it ain't easy   but i try, not to try   not to let you fade away   oh, stay   i want you to stay      (chorus)
