    Recorded with 12-string acoustic and 6-string electric made to sound as acoustic as possible (when I get a regular acoustic/electric I will rerecord that track). The solo is completely improvised in 1 take so it is a little off.

    Story Behind the Song
    Originally recorded as "Morning Heals." The lyrics have been changed. The story behind the song: left for England, came back to LA for a week, then had to come back to England.

    Lyrics
    the sunlight of California
    I forgot my home today
    the winter's never been so warm, yeah
    how I missed you L.A.
    but right back on top of things that I
    knew before I ever came
    and I'm struggling to decide
    whether or not I should stay (around here)

    cause I've been driving
    this car around for days
    and I can't seem to
    ever want to hit the brakes
    and the radio always
    loves to play my song
    but I don't want to hear it no more
    I'm just sick and tired of deserts and storms

    go into the bathroom
    lock yourself inside
    stare into the mirror
    at your face tonight
    the lines they change when you
    start to grin you see your age, well
    I only see a man whose
    been stuck on this same old page (again)

    you tell me that I'm
    better off, better without
    the only thing that I
    thought I had figured out
    you tell me I should
    head on back to where I came
    but I can't remember how to get there anymore
    and I'm just tired of chasing deserts and storms

    well I guess the trip was worth its while
    if I can see the daybreak
    and I'm going back tomorrow night
    but part of me will always be with you L.A.
