Kill for California

The summers always fading
winter lasts to long
I'd kill for California
and a loyal girl to hold
its in the over under
the odds you can't match
and I swear I do right by you
if I got a second chance

How to control
what we don't know
can't you see I'm falling free

Under the same stars
late nights in this bar
with the mess you made of me

Taking my chances
with these romances
in the end they all let go

Out in the rain
against the grain
every solider fights alone

Cause the summers always fading
winter lasts to long
I'd kill for California
and a loyal girl to hold
its in the over under
the odds you can't match
and I swear I do right by you
if I got a second chance

Why do we bet
get so upset
when the house is made of cards

How do we dance
keep making plans
when the ether takes it all

Taking my stands
with crooked men
and flag and we never fly

I'm not amazed
acting’s your trade
but you never learned to die
