Sleepy California by Her Space Holiday
Sleepy California lyrics
I used to think that I knew
My way around this town
But I�m always getting lost
Since you�re not around
I never thought that I would say this
But I miss my mom
Even though for all those years
We didn�t get along
And when I stop to think about it
I guess we were the same
Too stubborn to apologize
Too filled up on rage
I wish she felt young again
When everything was new
When her father held her hand
And said, �There�s nothing you can�t do�
And then I woke up to a phone call
Right On Christmas day
It said, �Your grandmother is dying
In a painful way
Her lungs are filling up with fluid
Even as we speak
The doctor said that if she�s lucky
She�ll make it �til next week�
I had one last chance to see her
Right before I moved
But I didn�t end up going
I used some lame excuse
I hope that she�s not scared
Lying there alone
I hope she hears her husband�s voice
Telling her she�s coming home
It�s just Sleepy California
But I just hope they know
It�s just Sleepy California
How much I really care
It�s just Sleepy California
How I want the best for them
It�s just Sleepy California
Even though I�m hardly there
