California Lyrics

I've been to California two times

It crosses my mind sometimes

Scared georgia girl on delta airlines

Near the hills blew past the road signs

I want to be the season that shines

California dreamin

California sunbeamin

More like odd from even

Where I can't keep in

I never sleep in

The ocean you could freeze in

I heave in

December never leavin

I need something to believe in

LA traffic took me nowhere

Fuck that place and whatever is there

Always in the car, so I'm unaware

Fuck LAX, what a fucking nightmare

All that shit is overrated; they don't care

I guess I wouldn't know so that's not quite fair

A big city can make you no one, I'm aware

You don't get what you pay for; you get your share

In California you don't get shit but a glare

I went to San Francisco and disintegrated

I had been baited

It's beauty was understated

I went to the forest and felt naked

This was somewhere sacred

Time passed and the redwoods had waited

The difference between timeless and outdated

The world was shaded

I wondered if I'm fated

To fall with a storm jaded

While the days just faded

Should I have traded

Another life for this one that was raided

I want to grow up like I wasn't created

To become a native

To a life I'd like to age in

Where I never have to break in

Again and again

Like she don't know who she is

And what happened to this

The things I'm going to miss

Sit in my house on the hill and reminisce

I want to touch the sky

Like I didn't have to try

Because I've grown so high

I want a retry

I want another battle cry

Life is better when you ask why

Don't let yourself run dry

People just hum by

Or are gridlocked in LA like an alibi

One day the redwoods will all die

And when I go I hope by and by

The world will also shrink in reply
