James Lyrics

You hate the east coast

But you'll miss the stars

You won't see them the same

California's a little too far

But things were destined to change

You hate the city

But you're going there

By summer you'll pack up your bags

Take all that you can

You're not coming back for a year now

But James if things ever change

And you're walking away

From the life that you made

I'm right here, just the same

Oh James if time didn't pull you away

I'd stand still calling your name

But there's things you cant take

Across the country

You'll miss the weather

The snow and the rain

But your hearts set miles away

I'll think about you, in my little room

Promise me that you'll stay

But I don't remember

Or I can't recall

The places we talked about

You're in Los Angeles, I'm falling down

It's like August all over again

But James if things ever change

And you're walking away

From the life that you made

I'm right here, just the same

Oh James if time didn't pull you away

I'd stand still calling your name

But there's things you cant take

Across the country

You pull me in, one final kiss

You're too drunk to remember

But I will never forget

The last time we spoke, in august

Now I sit alone, thinking of you

Promise to call, but I never do

And my little room Isn't quite mine

You're everywhere, and time isn't time

But James if things ever change

And you're walking away

From the life that you made

I'm right here, holding space

Oh James if time didn't pull you away

I'd stand still calling your name

But there's things you cant take

Across the country
