California - Jimmy Robbins

Verse 1 
The days are growing colder, the nights and weekends too 
I'm trading in my greens and reds for different shades of you 
The stars are shinning bright now, falling down like autumn leaves 
Painting pictures through their golden reds pictures of you and me 
Your smile says you're happy but it's cheaper then our words 
And your silence speaks so clearly but I swear I'll make this work 

[Chorus] 
On nights, like tonight 
The wind speaks to us through trees 
Singing lullabies by moonlight 
Your smile rocking us to sleep 

Verse 2 
The tears grow far too common, in between our eyes 
The photographs we pretend to be, laughter's found in lies 
And the laughter we both share seems to be our common ground 
I'm treading water in our conversations just to keep my words around 
The music found in silence is keeping me awake 
And like the ground in California your eyes still make me shake 

[Chorus] 
And on days, like today 
The paper's our comfort as is our pen 
As we bleed our hearts, tearing gossip apart 
We make our own fate on papers' skin
