You're in California where no matter the time you're always moving in some kind of traffic
I've been missing your smell, and I don't know what it is, I just know you're the only one who has it
but we both know I won't call you, honey what else can I do
we both need to know that I don't need you
You're in California soaking up the sun, I'm in old exile dreaming that I'm holding someone
there's a new beginning lingering between you and me, I've been looking for you honey and I thought you were looking for me
I'm standing here with an open hand, but my mouth is lying telling you I can't be your man
I'm in California too but I won't see your face, I won't drive past your house, if you step to me I'm walking away
yeah we both know I won't call you, honey what else can I do
we both need to know that I don't need you
