[Verse 1]
I hadn't heard my mother cry
In a long, long f*ckin' time
Breathe in, breathe out, survive
Yeah, I sung that in some other life
Doing the best I can to listen to that kid
[Chorus]
I miss California and every dog I've ever met
And all my friends who watched me get as stoned as you can get
I miss the way you used to look at me before my spirit died
I took for granted everything back then
I won't forsake time or ever close my eyes again
[Verse 2]
And in case you're asking
I'm not giving in
No, I am not going anywhere
'Cause all my friends alive and dead
They still walk with me from time to time
Always on my mind
Always
[Chorus]
I miss California and every dog I've ever met
And all my friends who watched me get as stoned as you can get
I miss the way you used to look at me before my spirit died
I took for granted everything back then
You need a picture of regret? Well, I'm your man
I won't forsake time or ever close my eyes again
