And the alarm clock rang
And the radio came on
A note on your pillow
Said that you had gone
I thought we shared a moment
Thought maybe you would stay
But youre leaving for California
Thousands of miles away

If it wasnt love
It was something like it
Love at first sight?
No, I dont buy that
She caught my eye
And roped me in
I introduced myself
And then it began

The fall, we fell, so far down
But we caught each other, kept ourselves from hitting the ground
Just like I promised you, we fell into each other
Never again, to fall into the arms of another

I hurried to my car
I knew I couldnt let you go
Drove to the airport
Just so I would know
I did everything
Just to make you stay
But youre leaving for California
Thousands of miles away

But you left
I was too late
I ran beside your window
Until your plane flew away
Hit the glass
Id run as far as I could
But knew I hadnt run
As far as I should
To the end of the ocean
To the end of the world
To hold you in my arms
Like Ive never done before
I turned around to leave
Only to see you standing right in front of me
I ran to you, and you ran to me
Threw yourself in my arms
And told me youd never leave
That California wasnt nearly as perfect as this
That California was something you wouldnt miss

The fall, we fell, so far down
But we caught each other, kept ourselves from hitting the ground
Just like I promised you, we fell into each other
Never again, to fall into the arms of another
