California Rain (Live Acoustic)

This song is about what love isn't: complex. Or is it? I'm not sure myself. That is why I wrote a song about it. Enjoy!

Love Just Isn't

Release

This is a song I finished yesterday! I recorded it on my iphone in one live take so I know there are mistakes. Enjoy!

Here are the lyrics:

it used to be a wonderland now they logged the entire hill
now the sun shines on beer cans and it’s littered with old shotgun shells
in out the trucks came, hauling off the best of their cuts
the gravel road in the rain left abused by their muddy wheel ruts

now coming home isn’t like it was then
the graveyard they left is where my childhood ends..

Hold on.. take everything back.. put everything back how it was..
every stone in it’s place.. away with your saws and your trucks..
I wish I could explain.. 
i’m a drop toward the drain..
and my hearts the stale wind through your old weathervane..
blowing way from the pain…
just a memory faint..
I’m an emptying cup..
don’t take it away..
I need it to be ho it was..

off the road by the bridge, there’s a tree covered path ‘round the pond.
and you told me as a child, you’d run and slide your feet o'er the wet moss.
and it felt just like skates to you then, in your innocent years.
but all I see is the place where my heart turned to coils and gears

you said this place is mine, and it’s my best version of home.
and you let me inside, but we both left alone.

you said hold on..
take everything back.. put everything back how it was…
every memory intact,(bury them deep in the dust)
said you couldn’t explain, why your memories were stained,
and I was the constant reminder of pain…
stabbing into your veins…
I always wanted to stay...
And if you want it undone..
I’ll be gone when you wake.. if you need it to be how it was…

I’ll be gone when you wake
and you’re still so far away
traveling down that california interstate
finally awake...
I’m sorry… 

hold on.. put everything back.. put everything back how it was..
you said everything dies..
everything turns back to dust..
I wish I could explain..
I die a little each day
and my fingers leave dust cuz they’re one in the same..
both dissolving in pain..
Every dam one day breaks..
blowing away from the pain.
My blood is like rust..
when that door latch locks in…
it will never be how it was..

(Bridge)

I was numb for so long..
no color in thought..
I’d have given it to you..
if I’d known I could thaw..

If I’d known….If I ever had known..
four thirty.. I’d beg you to come home…
and there weren’t enough hours in the day..
to tell me your resin paper, outgrew me as a frame..
without me, you can still remain..
when you go away, I’ll just stay here and hang.. on the wall..just a memory faint..

like my heart's stale wind in your old weather vain…just wanting to stay..
just blowin away.

I’ll be gone when you wake
you’re so far away traveling down that california interstate..
finally awake..
I’m sorry…

Every night
my mind spins and rewinds
to cry for calloused eyes is the worst of goodbyes.
I was always in love…
i was always in love…
I just never knew that I knew what that was..
I was always in love..
I was always in love..

i was just never broken enough.
