California - Nick Wilson

Maybe I’ll never find someone

Maybe I’ll always the be one

Who watches everybody else find love

They must be right I must be wrong

Think I’ve been losing for the longest time

Was I just nothing all along

Is it social sadness

By design?

Only silence inside

So tell me it’s not over

I’m breaking quietly

I’ve been crossing my fingers and holding my breath

That she’s round the corner

But it’s not all happy endings

Life on silver screens

You can write all you want about love

Make it feel like it’s out there for you

But this ain’t California

Isn’t it funny how we think

Everyone else has got it so much better

But nobody knows anything

Maybe I’ll always gravitate

To people I will never be enough for

It’s a currency my heart can’t pay

Is it social sadness

By design?

Only silence inside

So tell me it’s not over

I’m breaking quietly

I’ve been crossing my fingers and holding my breath

That she’s round the corner

But it’s not all happy endings

Life on silver screens

You can write all you want about love

Make it feel like it’s out there for you

But this ain’t California
