California Gold Rush Lyrics by Audiostrobelight

What You’re Running From

2012

[Verse 1]
Move to the west coast
Forget your friends back home
Throw all your drama in a suitcase, become unknown
Abandon the empire, that nine to five life
You’ve got a whole big batch of big plans and now you’ve got to get it right
But when that day comes to leave you’ll catch sight of the ocean, man it never really shines like this and “I’m not scared of being alone,” she said
But I know her better than that
And it’s the way she flips her hair in the heat of this conversation
It’s saying more than the lack of her motivation
And she swears to me, her only thought is to leave
But it would take too many hands to count the friends that you would leave behind
We took the long walk all the way from 81st street down to the boardwalk
We never saw the rain roll in
[Chorus]
California’s got nothing on me
Unless you’ve got the guts to take back all these years (All these years)
California’s got werewolves and zombies
I’ll fill in the blanks with anything
Anything to keep you here
[Verse 2]
What if I showed up at the airport and I had all my things packed too?
What if I said I had a ticket and a seat right next to you?
What if I sold all my guitars and quit the band?
Man they would kill me!
What if I said you made this harder than I ever thought it could be
Remember when we used to ride around the backroads of Kempsville late night just to pass the time screaming every line
[Chorus]
California’s got nothing on me
Unless you’ve got the guts to take back all these years (All these years)
California’s got werewolves and zombies
I’ll fill in the blanks with anything
Anything to keep you here
[Interlude]
Why are you afraid of being part of something real?
Too afraid to call this home
Why are you afraid of being part of something real?
I know you’re home
[Chorus]
California’s got nothing on me
Unless you’ve got the guts to take back all these years (All these years)
California’s got werewolves and zombies
I’ll fill in the blanks with anything
Anything to keep you here
[Outro]
California, you've nothing on me
California, you've nothing on me
I’ll fill in the blanks with anything
Anything to keep you here
