Sleepy California Lyrics

I used to think that I knew
My way around this town
But Im always getting lost
Since youre not around
I never thought that I would say this
But I miss my mom
Even though for all those years
We didnt get along
And when I stop to think about it
I guess we were the same
Too stubborn to apologize
Too filled up on rage

I wish she felt young again
When everything was new
When her father held her hand
And said, Theres nothing you cant do

And then I woke up to a phone call
Right On Christmas day
It said, Your grandmother is dying
In a painful way
Her lungs are filling up with fluid
Even as we speak
The doctor said that if shes lucky
Shell make it til next week
I had one last chance to see her
Right before I moved
But I didnt end up going
I used some lame excuse

I hope that shes not scared
Lying there alone
I hope she hears her husbands voice
Telling her shes coming home

Its just Sleepy California
But I just hope they know

Its just Sleepy California
How much I really care

Its just Sleepy California
How I want the best for them

Its just Sleepy California
Even though Im hardly there
