my shadow followed when you walked away
and ever since that day
my life has never been the same
my friends all ask just why you went away
and only i can say is your heart was in another place
and all i know is when i move away
my heart will stay in this mid-western state
woah oh oh oh oh, darling you're with him
woah oh oh oh oh, damn it's such a shame
woah oh oh oh oh, it's driving me insane
and ever since you went away
my heart has never beat the same
and all that i can do is just laugh
california waits for me to make the change
so i can start a band and party like its summer
my friends all ask just why i want to change
and all that i can say is because of her
and all i know is when i move away
my heart will stay in this mid-western state
woah oh oh oh oh, darling you're with him
woah oh oh oh oh, damn it's such a shame
woah oh oh oh oh, it's driving me insane
and ever since you went away
my heart has never beat the same
and all that i can do is just go scream it in your face
and all i know is when i move away
my heart will stay in this mid-western state
woah oh oh oh oh, darling you're with him
woah oh oh oh oh, damn it's such a shame
woah oh oh oh oh, it's driving me insane
and ever since you went away
my heart has never beat the same
and all that i can do is just laugh
