I knew that this was wrong as I

Stood reaching for the bedroom light

But she turned me on

So I turned it off

Every man has got his flaws

His breaking point, his sacred cause

And I had mine

But I crossed that line

Now I could never ask you to

Forgive me for the things I do

But if you ever need me

You know where I'll be

Meet me in California

I'll be there waiting for your call

I'll be there waiting for you

'cause you know in California

There's something better for us all

Meet me in California

This night was like a bible verse

With pages torn and missing words

Condemning me

And I'm on my knees

I wish that I could start again

Peel the past like sunburned skin

Right off of me

But it's not that easy

I don't wanna say goodbye

And I don't wanna make you cry

I just wanna see you smile again

'cause everything I used to be

Is waiting over there for me

This is a beginning not an end
