The sun is bleeding through the blinds   We murdered yet another night   I close my eyes and swallow pain   My body aches like Saturday   I'm one to watch and you're one to say   "I never really cared"      And I'm not coming home tonight   So don't wait up   Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California      My eyes are sensitive to sight   And my skin burns under the light   I shut my eyes and sound the end   Of what I thought was my best bet   And all that's left is left unsaid   But I never really cared      And I'm not coming home tonight   So don't wait up   Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California      I'll count headlights on the way back home   Each one holds a wish and a secret toll   Of all the girls who twist my thoughts in ways   That make me smile and suffocate      And I'm not coming home tonight   So don't wait up   Cause I bet it never gets this cold in California
