Lyrics

[INTRO]
(Yeah, yeah)
One glance, a fleeting chance,
But time slipped fast like grains of sand.

[VERSE 1]
Twenty years young, chasing dreams,
In the golden glow of California's beams.
You had that fire, hair like the sun,
But in the blink of an eye, it was gone, we came undone.
I remember laughing, how you made me shine,
But you drew the line, said I crossed the line.

[CHORUS]
Oh ginger girl, don’t you know?
In this Indiana night, missing you so slow.
Got your number saved, but I can’t hit dial,
Afraid of your words, afraid of your smile.
From coast to coast, the distance is cruel,
Wish I could turn back, back to that school.

[VERSE 2]
You blame me for things that never came true,
But I stood my ground, baby, I loved you.
Those late-night talks, we shared our fears,
But doubt took hold, now I’m lost in tears.
You chased the sunset, I stayed where it’s cold,
Thought we’d be forever, but love grew old.

[CHORUS]
Oh ginger girl, don’t you know?
In this Indiana night, missing you so slow.
Got your number saved, but I can’t hit dial,
Afraid of your words, afraid of your smile.
From coast to coast, the distance is cruel,
Wish I could turn back, back to that school.

[BRIDGE]
But I see your face in the stars at night,
Every street, every song, it just doesn’t feel right.
Am I foolish to dream of what could have been?
If I close my eyes, can you come back again?

[CHORUS]
Oh ginger girl, don’t you know?
In this Indiana night, missing you so slow.
Got your number saved, but I can’t hit dial,
Afraid of your words, afraid of your smile.
From coast to coast, the distance is cruel,
Wish I could turn back, back to that school.

[OUTRO]
So I’ll pen this letter, let the wind take it far,
To California sunsets, where you once were my star.
If you hear me, if you feel, could we mend?
Oh ginger
