Lookin' out another night On the New York City lights From my hotel room But I'm without you You can tell me little lies Over telephone lines Are you soaked right through? Does it burn? (Burn) Burn like me for you? Is the water cold? And the darker side of you Is the one you've shown Don't need to be a bad thing A bad thing Don't make it a bad a thing Doesn't have to be Doesn't have to be a bad thing Bad thing Don't make it a bad thing Doesn't have to In California It's really not what you imagined Movin' in and out of focus Flying through the city so fast Like the ride's on fire Tryna find a little magic Wake up praying something happens You know all I do is write All my best songs about you So why are you crying? Don't make it a bad a thing Doesn't really have to be Doesn't have to be a bad thing That I'm gone When I get back to you, babe In too long Ain't a thing faded (no) It's too strong Coming back Coming back to my bad thing To my bad thing To my Bad thing To my bad thing, to my bad thing To my bad thing, to my bad thing To my bad thing
