Was it really so long ago
We were taking photographs
Of each other in our winter pageant clothes
Skipping school going home
Running for shelter from a sudden thunderstorm
Kissing raindrops on your nose

What part did i play
In making you the way you are
What more can i say to convince you
You didn't have to go so far
You didn't have to go so far

You may as well live a universe away now
I'll probably never see you again
I wonder where you went
Where do you go what do you see
And do you ever think of me
And california
And all that time we spent

What part did i play
In making you the way you are
What more can i say to convince you
You didn't have to go so far
You didn't have to go so far
