You're still the only mistake I will ever cop to
Not the "In the beginning" but the way I lost you
The only mistake that comes back to haunt me
When I'm weak and dreaming that you might still want me
When I was young I never wanted the sun
But now I'm 30 some
And had enough of eastern winters
And I know I won't be warm again
Till I get to California again
Till I get to California again
Till I get to California again
Time for one last look around
Winter streets and people I let down
And what's left of everything you wanted
Everybody goes home disappointed
