Don't know What I was looking for when I went home I found me alone And sometimes I need someone to say "You'll be alright; What's on your mind?"
But the water's shallow here And I am full of fear And empty-handed after two long years
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a I'm sure back home they'd love to see it But they don't know that what you love is ripped away Before you get a chance to feel it
Back home I always thought I wanted so much more Now I'm not too sure Cuz sometimes I miss knowing someone's there for me And feeling free
Free to stand beside The ocean in moonlight And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a I'm sure back home they'd love to see it But they don't know that what you love is ripped away Before you get a chance Before you get a chance to feel it
Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line Tearing lives apart, breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time And the eyes get red in the back of your head This place will make you blind Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine
Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky Sometimes I wish that it would rain here And wash away the West Coast dreaming from my eyes There's nothing real for them to see here
Another starry night in Californ-i-a I'm sure back home they'd love to see it But they don't know that what you love is ripped away Before you get a chance Before you get a chance to feel it
