California is burning
While your fingertips are turning
Blue from the cold that's creeping
Toward your heart, grateful
Claiming limb by limb, by limb, by limb
I am not afraid
California is drying
While your blood line is rising
Pools gathering in trenches
When just now you were slack-jawed
Breathing out all of your
Grasping on to light and sound
I am not afraid
Hey, isn't it amazing
The way your skin clings to your face?
Hey, isn't it amazing
The way the sweetness won't decay
There is no California anymore
I am not afraid

I believe that everything is chaos at random
And we're all gonna die
And I believe that everything has purpose and meaning
And that right now we're alive
Even though the odds were against us from the start,
Somehow we're still surviving and just look at where we are!
Floating on a giant ball of molten lava at 67,000 miles an hour
'round the sun
Sitting down to dinner made with love by sinners
Laughing at the picture the internet gave us when we clicked
But if you need to sit down here for a while, my friend
It's all a lot to swallow and trust me, I understand
But tell me when you're ready and then we're gonna take a drive
Find an open meadow and stare up at the darkness and the light

I don't even want to be in love with you
Flip my whole life upside down
I don't even want to be in love with you
Don't want to lose myself
Don't want to fall and I don't want to cry
Don't want to need you beside me at night
Don't want to claim you and own what you do
So we'll just throw on some blinders, ignore the sign
Saying "Turn back now"
We'll just grip our hands tighter and rise up together
As our heads reach the clouds
But I can feel this rushing force, like a tsunami to the beach,
And I can only brace for impact and I'd be fine if I could breathe,
But the water's closing in, and to myself I must repeat that
The only out is through it so kiss me long and kiss me deep
ooo, ooo
I can see it stretched before us, our whole kingdom of the sweet
But its existence is as tenuous as lightning from the heat
And though half my lungs are rooting for the avoidance of defeat
The other half can only sing of you in ecstasy
ooo, ooo
Tonight I'm sleeping crooked on the mattress
Crooked on the mattress, crooked on the mattress
I can see it stretched before us, our whole kingdom of the sweet
But its existence is as tenuous as lightning from the heat
