Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I left my soul

On Californian soil

And I left my pride

With that woman by my side

I never had a willing hand

And I never had a plan

But I'm glad I found you here

But I'm glad I've got you here

But I never had the name

And I never felt the same

They will keep on trying it on

And they keep on tryin' to end it all

And they keep on tryin' to end it all

And I never felt the same

I'm young, I'm old

And so you do what you told

I never had a willing hand

And so you pack up all your bags

But I'm glad I've got you here

Well I'm glad I've got you here

But I never felt the same

And this life is just a game

They keep on tryin' to end it all

They keep on tryin' to end it all

And they won't keep on trying it on

Until you never feel the same
