Oh, my golden state, state of mind Faded to gray And as I ran away I knew what to say My rabid need for confidence has left me frothing at the mouth So I spat out: Someone help me And felt sorry for myself But I'll just go And watch the cars pass by my window I think I'm apathetic, or just flat out pathetic You would know When I get cold, I'll think of home Say what you want, say what you need My head is a cave, where I've been digging graves For you and me Oh, my back and forth coming thoughts Shook the words right through my teeth Where I turned black and blue Looking at you I just keep thinking that I'm golden, that this will make sense when I'm old But each and every step I take leads me further from the door When I get cold, I'll think of home Say what you want, say what you need My head is a cave, where I've been digging graves For you and me Oh, I've got the West Coast blues Each and every day, I just think of you Startled by my slight of hand, and how it never fails to come back in the end I know I'll end up somewhere in between here and my home And all I ever hear from you, is will it be soon Say what you want, say what you need My head is a cave, where I've been digging graves For you and me Say what you want, say what you need My head is a cave, where I've been digging graves For you and me
