The Static Between - Cali Girl Lyrics

In a city that never sleeps she lies staring at the ceiling
Protected by her nest of pillows, listening to her own breathing
(And she's thinking)
Now the anger's almost gone
No tears are left to cry
But what's gonna fill that emptiness
Left from years that passed me on by

(So this is a message for the)
Cali girl with a southern heart
Sometimes it takes an ending to bring you to the start
Sometimes you gotta fall to remember how to land
Sometimes you gotta bleed a little so you can heal again

Doubled down on life and the house laughed in her face
Now she's left with next to nothing in this god-forsaken, thrift store furnished place
There's nights she gets a little too drunk
Some nights a little too high
The things you find you gotta to do
When you've lost all your reasons to try

(So this is a message for the)
Cali girl with a southern heart
Sometimes it takes an ending to bring you to the start
Sometimes you gotta fall to remember how to land
Sometimes you gotta bleed a little so you can heal again
You can feel again

But she'll keep it to herself, and tomorrow, put on that winner's smile
With equal parts of pride and grace, she can fake it for a little while
(But inside she's)
Wishing for some mercy
Praying for a little faith
But her head's still drowning in the sand
And her spirit has fled to another place

(So this is a message to my)
Cali girl with a southern heart
Sometimes it takes an ending to bring you to the start
Sometimes you gotta fall to remember how to land
Sometimes you gotta bleed a little so you can heal again

To my Cali girl with a Southern heart
Sometimes it takes an ending to bring you to the start
Sometimes you gotta fall to remember how to land
Sometimes you gotta die a little so you can live again
So you can live again
