Sleepy California Lyrics - Her Space Holiday

I used to think that I knew 

My way around this town 

But I'm always getting lost 

Since you're not around 

I never thought that I would say this 

But I miss my mom 

Even though for all those years 

We didn't get along 

And when I stop to think about it 

I guess we were the same 

Too stubborn to apologize 

Too filled upon rage 

I wish she felt young again 

When everything was new 

When her father held her hand 

And said, "There's nothing you can't 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 she's lucky 

She'll make it 'til next week 

I had one last chance to see her 

Right before I moved 

But I didn't end up going 

I used some lame excuse 

I hope that she's not scared 

Lying there alone 

I hope she hears her husband's voice 

Telling her she's coming home 

It's just sleepy California 

But I just hope they know 

It's just sleepy California 

How much I really care 

It's just sleepy California 

How I want the best for them 

It's just sleepy California 

Even though I'm hardly there
