Not Enough Coffee In California

How come it feels like I’m stuck at day one

After so many years circling the sun

I’ve fought so many battles but what have I won

Except some melodies in some songs that I have sung

There’s not enough coffee in California

I need something more

To help my tired body get where it wants to be

I thought I was ready to handle the high

As I built a ladder to get to the sky

It feels like I’m further the harder I climb

But I still try

I’m holding steady

Racing with time

I need to believe I’m not running behind

That I’m doing this right

I’m not wasted I’m fine

I’m just chasing the light

With every one step

I fall back four

Still with everything I give they want more

Tell me what’s it going to take

To open up that door

Still trying to figure out how to break it down

There’s not enough *** in California

I need something more

To help my tired body get where it wants to be

I thought I was ready to handle the high

As I built a ladder to get to the sky

It feels like I’m further the harder I climb

But I still try

I’m holding steady

Racing with time

I need to believe I’m not running behind

That I’m doing this right

I’m not wasted I’m fine

I’m just chasing the light

I thought that I made it through hell

But I find myself back here again

though I could do something else

I get by with help from my friends

Though I’ve made it this far

It’s only the start

Gonna see what’s in the stars for me

I thought I was ready to handle the high

As I built a ladder to get to the sky

It feels like I’m further the harder I climb

But I still try

I’m holding steady

Racing with time

I need to believe I’m not running behind

That I’m doing this right

I’m not wasted I’m fine

I’m just chasing the light
