| Are you out there? |
| Where the rainy days begin
|
| To feel rather sad and the walls are closing in like the darkness around me It’s so hard to look away when the daylight doesn’t ever stay
|
| Above this dull apartment view, oh I will surround you
|
| It’s quite clear that I’m stuck here
|
| So I’ll devise a plan and cut out a door in my new living room floor
|
| The porch light is so bright
|
| That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape of the rusty fire escape
|
| I bought a one-way ticket
|
| Cuz I knew I’d never see the ground
|
| Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down
|
| When I wiped the tears from my eyes
|
| The warm water took me by surprise
|
| And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
|
| I must be in California
|
| Aloha, my happy west coast friends
|
| Do you feel alive when the breaking waves arrive and rush all around you?
|
| The beach homes in Oceanside are quite well-known by the evening tide
|
| And we can sleep where we reside with redwoods around us The blue air is up there and could I bring it down,
|
| I’d bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night
|
| I bought a one-way ticket
|
| Cuz I knew I’d never see the ground
|
| Unless I was aboard a jet plane and we were going down
|
| When I wiped the tears from my eyes, the warm water took me by surprise
|
| And I woke up beside the ocean and I realized
|
| I must be in California
|
| I must be in California
|
| Am I awake or is this just a dream?
|
| The New Year is out here and
|
| I will make a lovely list of your charms
|
| So I’ll never feel alone in your arms
|
| I must be in California
|
| I must be in California
|
| Oh my dear, I can feel you here, Oh my dear, I can feel you here
|
| I must be in California |
