 As usual, I'm  in a tricky predicament
 Weather in my thoughts,  on the roof sneaking a cigarette
 Dear California,  it's been  nice to know  ya
 Tell me will you miss  me when I'm gone?
  Cause he loves me as I  leave, so  I'm gonna  go
  And I'm not in company's  when you feel  it most
  And you keep my memory,  I hope ya keep  me close
  Would you love me as I  leave?
 This alchemy  is making me suspicious  (Oooh-oooh)
 As if I slipped you  some belladonna
  that I crossed town  to get, don't you know?
   (Drop)
  Yes, my grand friend checks it
  Oh he loves me as I leave,  so I'm  gonna go
  And I'm not in company's  when you feel  it most
  And you keep my memory,  I hope ya  keep me close
  Would you love me as I  leave?
  Ever changing as the sea,  it's my  only hope
  It's just me and my pup  in the  open road
  But your face is like a  paper cut  to the heart
  Slip away while you sleep
 It's easy,  it's easier
 Than it seems
 It's easy,  it's easier
 Than it seems
 Just go,  I'll go,  don't cry
 (Drop)
  Don't go, don't go, you still cry
 
   I don't cry
 
  Oh he loves me as I leave,  so I'm  gonna go
  And I'm not in company's  when you feel  it most
  And you keep my memory,  I hope ya  keep me close
  Would you love me as I  leave?
  Ever changing as the sea
  Would you love me as I leave?  (Dear California)
  Would you love me as I leave?  (Dear California)
  Would you love me as I leave?  (Dear California)
   -  (Drop)
  Would you love me as I leave? (Dear California)
