The New Amsterdams - From California lyrics

rate me

Uncommon amount of the time at home

Hardly a word on the telephone

Finally find the time to get to know you

Mapping it out like a master plan

Something to do with my idle hands

Write you a letter addressed from California

It's vivid and strong in my memory

An absence that smacks of abandoning

It led to the battle that ultimately destroyed us

I'm nothing if I don't know your mistakes

The pill is as bitter as I can take

It twists like a blade when I leave for California

La da la da da da da da da da da da da (repeat)

I hope that you know this is killing me

It's all in the name of the family

We only can play the cards the dealer dealt us

The end of the cycle is closing in

With you I see new hope begin again

There suddenly seems to be promise in California

La da la da da da da da da da da da da (repeat)

As heavy as all this is weighing me

Believe in the words I am promising

I'm still here for her

The distance is only an obstacle

Hardly a match for a miracle

I'm finally ready to go to California
