Hotels and cigarettes
And empty bars where i just sit
And contemplate the things that i can't know
And all i ask of you are honest words
Simple truths
A place to lay my head when i get lost
Nothing here is right
Guess i'll shut my eyes
Come to california 'cause i've been lonely for you
We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise
Come to california
Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight
Well i can't see the sky
I watch the waves disappear beneath the boardwalk
Then i blink my eyes
Stare farther down the beach
I'll get drunk this time on moons far and wide
In my defence i'd like to say at least it's always sweet
Nothing here is tight
Guess i'll shut my eyes
Come to california 'cause i've been lonely for you
We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise
Come to california
Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight
Well i can't see the sky
And i don't know if i believe i'm everything i should be
If i'd never been for you
Love
I am drowning in this change
It's washing everything i know and am confident with
Ah
Come to california 'cause i've been lonely for you
We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise
Come to california
Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight
Well i can't see the sky
I can't see the sky
Come to california 'cause i've been lonely for you
(i can't see the sky)
We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise
(lord i can't see the sky)
Come to california
Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight
(i can't see it)
(i can't see it)
Well i can't see the sky
(i can't see it)
