[Verse 1]
The sun ran out on a cold October
Somewhere under the canyon moon
Camera jammed in a slow exposure
California in her rear view

[Verse 2]
She couldn't handle another season
Another ocean of fiction blue
Said a prayer to a dashboard Jesus
Death Valley and worn out shoes

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The sun ran out on a cold October
She disappeared, she disappeared

[Chorus]
Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don't know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you (you)

[Verse 3]
The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
Marching band in a high school dream
Little town and a faded beauty
They still remember when she was queen
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
She disappeared, she disappeared

[Chorus]
Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don't know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you (you)

[Bridge]
The sun ran out on a cold October
And where she ended up, no one knew

[Chorus]
Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don't know the way
The ricochet

Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don't know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you
