Lyrics:
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl
Now once there was a time, I dreamt on down the line, of being King of California
Lost in that cliché, we drifted our own ways, you know I’m always happy for ya
And all my best laid plans, fall like castles made of sand, a king fooled by a joker
When I’m anxious I am mean, and I did that to the queen, I think I may have broke it
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl
We both played the game, got married, you kept your name, we thought we were wiser, than our Mum and Dads, turns out we just the same, shitty compromisers
And all the time that’s passed, through our hourglass, girl we’re only getting older, all the wood that we collect and all the fires we keep, how come it’s getting colder?
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl, when all is said and done
Long and lonely road, please tell me where I am, ain’t King of California, that’s for sure
Turns out what we had, is something you can’t fake and I cannot ignore ya...
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl
I only want it with you girl, when all is said and done
