[Verse 1]
I could move out West sometime but I'm afraid to drive
And don't take well to highways, though it's fine, I always find a ride
But if it's California, then I'll walk the shoulder home
Trekking through the roadkill, all the motorists will think I'm stoned
Make new friends with pools to swim in, come to vilify new women
Look out at the audience and everybody's here so
Could be California in a year or so
[Chorus]
Can't sweat anything I never thought I'd get to do
A city's more than its proximity to you
The answer's there, I could know it if I tried
Say you're falling apart, well, you know what? So am I
I, I
[Verse 2]
I could turn to God someday, put to work these knees and pray
Eyeing my creator in a towel from the bathroom floor
If this is my repentance, then it's long been overdue
'Cause the sinner thing's not interesting if it won't bring me close to you and
Jesus died so I could live and smoke and cry and get forgiven
Nothing short of sacrilege, but mercy will be shown 'cause
I could turn to God all on my own
[Chorus]
Can't sweat anything I never thought I'd get to do
A city's more than its proximity to you
The answer's there, I could know it if I tried
Say you're falling apart, well, you know what? So am I
I, I
[Bridge]
Scared out of my mind
Just for fun, I've become someone who walks around and mutters all the time
Nervous, it's no one's fault but mine
I could move out West and find the sand and draw a line
Move out West, get better dressed, be everything I like
Could be California anytime
[Chorus]
Can't sweat anything I never thought I'd get to do
A city's more than its proximity to you
The answer's there, I could know it if I tried
But I won't go 'cause I'm afraid to drive
