California On Fire Lyrics by Adam Newling
If I was a songbird, I would have a Southern drawl
I’d return all your love letters you send me on the road
If I was a vampire, I would suck out all the blood
I’d return it with the time and patience from me that you took
And I’ve never been to California
But I’ve heard that it’s pretty nice when it’s not on fire
And I’ve never had myself a good time
But I’m burning through all of my brain cells
To ease my troubled mind
If I was a landslide, I wouldn’t harm your home
I’d bury half the countryside and I’d leave with the storm
I am just one ethnic child, I was raised in the suburbs
I’ve only grown more questions from the lessons I have learned
And I’ve never been to California
I’ve heard that it’s pretty nice when it’s not on fire
And I’ve never had myself a good time
But I’m burning through all of my brain cells
To ease my troubled mind
Yes, I’m burning through all of my brain cells
To ease my troubled mind
Yes, I’m burning through all of my brain cells
To ease my troubled mind
