any thoughts?
please add your thoughts.  ???



As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament
Weather in my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette
Dear California, it's been nice to know ya
Tell me will you miss me when I'm gone?

Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
When I'm not in company is when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

This alchemy is making me suspicious
Oo, as if I slipped you some belladonna
That I crossed town to get, didn't you notice
My grand French exit?

Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
When I'm not in company is when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea, it's my only hope
It's just me and my pup in the open road
But your face is like a paper cut to the heart
Slip away while you sleep

It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems

Just go, I'll go, don't cry
I don't know, I don't know, we'll be fine
Hey
Paper cut to the heart

Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
When I'm not in company is when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California

ok, ill try to help. putting my two cents, this is what i get. mostly from the itunes song.


Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

This alchemy is making me suspicious
As if I said "dear son, better luck on it"
And across town to get, would you moan?
At least my grand plan checks it
(anything in this paragraph doesn't make any sense so ill leave it like that)

Well he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

And I've been changing as the sea is my only home (what?xD)
It's just me and my pocket little notes
But your face is like a paper cut to the heart
Laying while you sleep

It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
It's easy, it's easy
Than it seems
Just go, I'll go
(??)
Don't cry

lol, so lame.
It's just me....and a drum. brmbrmbrmbrmbrbbrbrbrmmm

I like these lines...

And something's been happening between V and the sea.... Remember the lines from The Marching Line?

Floating on the sea, stars are watching me. Currents take me out, what will be will be.

Will you miss me when I'm gone
Cause he loves me as I leave
So I've gotta go
I'm not in companies when you feel it most
When you keep my memory
I hope you keep me close
Would you love me as I leave

This alchemy is making me suspicious
As if I slipped you some belladonna
That I crossed town to get (reminds me of the witch doctor lines from HTB)
And you know, yes, my grand friend chugs it (?)

Oh he loves me as I leave
So I've gotta go
I'm not in companies when you feel it most
When you keep my memory
I hope you keep me close
Would you love me as I leave

I'm as changing as the seas
It's my only hope
It's just me and my pup and the open road (Kerouac and Charley pup tweet, remember?)
But your face is like a papercut to the heart
Fileting (?) while you sleep

It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
It's easy, it's easy
Than it seems
Just go, I'll go
Don't cry

I sort of like this, it's different from the other tracks on the record...most likely a grower. It has a Beach Boys-y vibe to it.

This is such a summer song, I can't wait to just chill out on the beach to this one.  I love that it's a send-off song, yet so light and chill.

My fave song on the album. :)
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

It's so catchy. I think it would be a good single at some point.

"Carousel"
"I Don't Want To Be A Bride"
"Dear California"

Although, I wouldn't mind this being second. It's quite different for Vanessa.

I wonder what it'd be like when V performed this live...  ::) I'm eager to see how she'll deliver such sunny song.
