lyrics

I never thought I’d be alone for so long
Forming my opinions all by myself
for days on end
Always wishing to be thin
But it’s only my heart that’s shrinking.

And if I move to California
Where will my problems be then?
Disappear among the palm trees?
I feel so happy when I think about them
But as quickly as the feelings come
They drift away again

I never thought I’d see it all laid out, quite so straight
My happiness there on a plate
I eat from it in every way
And still there is a plate to lick
I’ve never lost the taste of it

And when I got to California I was
Seduced by the size of the sky
Threw my future at a man in a bar
And he caught it without blinking an eye
But as quickly as the future came
It passed me by.

Have I loved anyone?
I cannot say
My heart is so red one minute
And black the next day

And can we love anyone?
I do not know
Love’s a reflection
More blinding than snow

And is it natural
To love only one?
How much can I give you
When I have none?
