lyrics

There's a garden where I bury my secrets
It comes alive at night with brilliant creatures
They all look like me but they've got reasons to smile

I wander through it every night while you're sleeping
Tip-toe around your dreams so you don't catch me creeping
I sit and watch them dance for a little while

On a pasadena night the freeway
Sounds like a river if you listen and briefly
I could fall asleep without a little help

But in that garden where I bury my secrets
Is a memory of west coast beaches
Bluer than your eyes, and sweeter than your smile

And if it's you or California baby you don't wanna know
I don't want to see you cry when I decide to go
So just close your eyes and let me disappear

If living in a perfect world means dying
Why is everyone so bent on trying
To outrun the clock when Jesus always forgives

I think about it but I’d never act
It’s too hard to picture you wearing that black dress
Crying into your mattress every night

And if it’s you or California mama I don’t wanna go
‘Cause I can’t stand to see you cry or leave you all alone
So just close your eyes and let me disappear
