Lyrics
I hate California
I hate apple pie
I hate watching baseball
I hate this lonely life

I don't like the sunshine
Wish it go away
Just let the darkness
Wash me away

What good is the moonlight or toes in the sand
Long walks are useless without holding your hand

Like a thousand hail marys
Guilt keeps me awake
Lost my direction
Lost my faith

I hate deep dish pizza
I hate lattes too
I hate everything
Since I lost you

What good is the moonlight or toes in the sand
Long walks are useless without holding your hand
