GOODBYE CALIFORNIA
lyrics and music by Anna Tutor

I could never keep this place clean
They say what you have around you is a reflection of your heart
But this stuff keeps getting in my way
and I can't find the things I want

I remember the day that I walked in
The sun shining from three walls out of four
Now when I'm at home I keep the curtains closed
And lock the door

But it's a long way out of here
If I leave, will you follow?

I've tried to make this ocean my friend
But I can't let its water touch my skin
It lies on the losing end of a human drain
And they say "what you put out is what you get back in"

It's sunny day
Another sunny day
It's a sunny day
In southern California

I was hoping this would be paradise
I'd build a castle in the air
The kind that Joni Mitchell sang about
But I can't afford the rent up there

Now I'm missing the evergreens
Mosquitoes in the afternoon
And a garden with seasons
In full bloom

It's sunny day
Another sunny day
It's a sunny day
In southern California

And it's a long way out of here
It's a long way out of here
It's a long way out of here
If I leave, will you follow?
