Sleepy California Lyrics

Sleepy California lyrics

I used to think that I knew

My way around this town

But I'm always
getting lost

Since you're not around

I never thought that I would
say this

But I miss my mom

Even though for all those years

We
didn't get along

And when I stop to think about it

I guess we were
the same

Too stubborn to apologize

Too filled up on rage



I wish she felt young again

When everything was new

When her
father held her hand

And said, "There's nothing you can't do"



And then I woke up to a phone call

Right On Christmas day

It
said, "Your grandmother is dying

In a painful way

Her lungs are
filling up with fluid

Even as we speak

The doctor said that if
she's lucky

She'll make it 'til next week"

I had one last chance to
see her

Right before I moved

But I didn't end up going

I used
some lame excuse



I hope that shes not scared

Lying there
alone

I hope she hears her husbands voice

Telling her she's coming
home



It's just Sleepy California

But I just hope they
know

It's just Sleepy California

How much I really care

It's
just Sleepy California

How I want the best for them

It's just
Sleepy California

Even though I'm hardly there
