Raine Maida - Careful What You Wish For lyrics

Oh no mom

Look what I've done

I'm on the run

I've gone to California

I kissed you goodbye

With a tear in my eye

I packed up my truck and went for a drive

These white yellow lines

These angel filled skies

The road might be long

But it's my road tonight

It's a Leonard Cohen song

A buddah or a Monk

You can be anything you want

I'm an Italian Catholic punk and I'm on my way

On my way

Oh la la lo, I'm on my way

The ocean appears

The wind slaps my face

Oh, Shangri-La

What a beautiful place

I'm nervous but steady

I'm scared but I'm ready

No turning back

3000 miles in a Chevy

I slam on the brakes

Put my toes in the sand

Look to the constellations

And I throw up my hands

I said, God be my driver

God, be my lighter

Nobody ages, I guess nobody dies here

I'll be careful what I wish for in this life

Cause I know, I'll miss yesterday

I'll come back to you before I'm old and grey

I'll come home

I'll be back again

The sky turned red

The ocean pulled away

What the hell's going on

How come no one's afraid?

I said hey Mr. Soul

What you got for me
