I guess the most that I can do
Is make a call and tell you the truth
Sing the words in melody
And hope that you'll believe me
Here's another song for you
So this one this one makes two
Still don't know where to begin
I'll just leave it at this

I'm sure you always feel my eyes on you
But i hope that you will never feel unwanted
Wait for me to move out west
It's ok if you don't
I hope you know
You're my favorite thing
About the west coast
I wish I stayed
I hope you wait
So here I am
Counting down the days
Till California comes

This is the least that I can do
You know I'm bad at calling you
The best way I can accept
The lonely words I miss you
I'll say it but I'm sure you knew
You're what I look most forward to
Coming back to where I've been
I'll just leave it at this

I'm sure you always feel my eyes on you
But I hope that you will never feel unwanted
If you feel unwanted
Wait for me to move out west
It's ok if you don't
I hope you know
You're my favorite thing
About the west coast
I wish I stayed
I hope you wait
So here I am
Counting down the days
Till California comes

Wait for me to move out west
It's ok if you don't
I hope you know
You're my favorite thing
About the west coast
I wish I stayed
I hope you wait
So here I am
Counting down the days
Till California comes

Till California comes

    General Comment:Sorry, should be:
    "The best way I can EXTEND
    the lonely words 'I miss you.'"

    Cheers.

    General Comment:From what I can tell he wishes he stayed to be with her and he wants her to know that he still thinks of her every day and that she still means a lot to him and that he can't wait to see her again.

    General Comment:this song is quite amazing, but it has the wrong lyrics at the part "the best way i can accept the lonely words i miss you" it is actually "the best way i can EXTEND the lonely words i miss you"

    General Comment:I am in love with The Starting Line and I really think that this song pushes my expectations of them. The guitar is amazing. It's kind of a self-explanitory song. Long distance = no good, but there's always that hope that it will work out.
