On borrowed time, and I think I'm gonna run out
Stay too long, you start feeling like a burnout
And I can't live up, but I didn't wanna let you down
I knew I shouldn't leave, but I didn't wanna stick around
I finally found the urge to run away
I'm sorry but I've got a sun to chase
And I know I should have stayed to be there for ya
But I'll be getting drunk in California
I'm sick and tired of waiting for a fear to pass
While my time grows short and I'm aging in my photographs
Everything's the same, but nothing's like it used to be
Just seems like this place finally got the best of me
I'm overdue to make a few mistakes
I've got time to kill and promises to break
And I know I should have stayed to be there for ya
But I'll be getting drunk in California
I'm waiting for the day, when my feat, they hit the ground
'Cause you said I'd find a way, and they swore I'd settle down
I know that it ain't fair but nothing is
Before I break, well, something's gotta give
And I know I should have stayed to be there for ya
But I'll be getting drunk in California
