All those times your lips touched mine
The nights grew cold; your eyes had shined
The smile you gave off I knew time wouldn’t fade
California I’m here to stay
Skies turn gray you give me waves
Tears falling down your face allow me to survive
I’m deeper than I’ve ever been
The tide pulls me down
It’s hard enough to stay afloat as I drown
Pacific coast you’ve won my love, it’s for the taking
Promise to take my hand, bend but not break me
The surfs been rough but I can’t face
The net below that’s dragging me down
The dark blue skies begin to fade
The summer breeze has swept my face
Pulling me off from stable ground
Unsure if time will slow down
This lock and chain need to break
Release me from this iron cage
I need to run, need to hide, need to escape it all
False truths lie inside; I tell myself all these lies
Can’t face the truths of reality
California I’m here to stay
When the skies turn gray you give me waves
Tears falling down your face allow me to survive
I’m deeper than I’ve ever been
The tide pulls me down
It’s hard enough to stay afloat as I drown
Pacific coast you’ve won my love, it’s for the taking
Promise to take my hand, bend but not break me
The surfs been rough but I can’t face
The net below that’s dragging me down
The dark blue skies begin to fade
The summer breeze has swept my face
Pulling me off from stable ground
Unsure if time will slow down
