California Rust Lyrics by The Answer

Sundowners

0

[Verse 1]
Listen, is that really howling I hear or is that just the rain?
Hold me close 'til my head is clear and let it wash away
Ain't nobody feels like they're winning, winning all the time
That don't mean you take what you're given and never wonder why

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know how it feels to be hard on myself
In this big head of mine there ain't nobody else
I let everything stop and then start it again
There ain't no other way

[Chorus]
I heal quickly
Like some smooth California rust
I heal quickly
Let it all blow away in the dust
Oh, in the dust

[Verse 2]
I won't let a world get me down that doesn't know my name
Yeah, some days I just cry out loud but still I don't pretend, no

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know how it feels to be hard on myself
In this big head of mine there ain't nobody else
I let everything stop and then start it again
There ain't no other way

[Chorus]
I heal quickly
Like some smooth California rust
I heal quickly
Let it all blow away in the dust
All in the dust

[Post-Chorus]
Let it blow away
Let it blow away
Let it blow away
Let it blow away
Oh yeah

[Bridge]
Let it wash away
Let it wash away
California rust
Let it wash away
Let it wash away
California rust
Let it wash away
Let it wash away
California rust
Let it wash away
Let it wash away
California rust

[Chorus]
I heal quickly
Like some smooth California rust
I heal quickly
Let it all blow away in the dust
Ooh, in the dust
Oh yeah
