meet me in california lyrics

I knew that this was wrong as I stood reaching for the bedroom light
But she turned me on so I turned it off
Now every man has got his flaws, his breaking point, his sacred cause
And I had mine but I crossed that line

Now I could never ask you to forgive me for the things I do
But if you ever need me you know where I'll be

Meet me in California, I'll be there waiting for your call
I'll be there waiting for you
'Cause you know in California there's something better for us all
Meet me in California

This night was like a bible verse with pages torn and missing words
Condemning me and I'm on my knees
I wish that I could start again, peel the past like sunburned skin
Right off of me, but it's not that easy

And now I could never ask you to forgive me for the things I do
But if you ever need me you know where I'll be

Meet me in California, I'll be there waiting for your call
I'll be there waiting for you
'Cause you know in California there's something better for us all
Meet me in California

I don't wanna say goodbye and I don't wanna make you cry
I just wanna see you smile again
'Cause everything I used to be is waiting over there for me
This is a beginning not an end

I could never ask you to forgive me for the things I do
But if you ever need me you know where I'll be

Meet me in California, I'll be there waiting for your call
I'll be there waiting for you
'Cause you know in California there's something better for us all
Meet me in California

I'll be there waiting for you
'Cause you know in California there's something better for us all
Meet me in California
