(Uh, uh, eh, uh)

[Verse 1]
Your daddy bought you a new black Jetta
A little something else to curb the pain
Waiting on a call, text, or whatever
Your life's a storm cloud without any rain

[Pre-Chorus]
Filled your life full of boys that are broken
Validation needed more than you
Scratching your arm with the blade while you're smoking
I wanna cover you

[Chorus]
Said "I love you, California, but you're bringing me down"
You love me then you hate me then you're never around
A natural disaster in a fabricated town
I love you, California, but you're, you're bringing me down

[Post-Chorus]
Down, down, down, down, down, down

[Verse 2]
A bitter pill that you never learned to swallow
A sight unseen from your new third eye
Your little tricks, never got them to follow
It's not enough to be the pitiful type
[Pre-Chorus]
So take your medicine, your freak adrenaline
The kind of problems you had always dreamed you'd settle in
Stop making promises, you don't know what honest is
I wanna cover you

[Chrous]
Said "I love you, California, but you're bringing me down"
You love me then you hate me then you're never around
A natural disaster in a fabricated town
I love you, California, but you're, you're bringing me down

[Bridge]
(Around)

[Chorus]
Said "I love you, California, but you're bringing me down"
You love me then you hate me then you're never around
A natural disaster in a fabricated town
I love you, California, but you're, you're bringing me down

[Post-Chorus]
Down, down, down, down, down
You're bringing me down
