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 all right

What's on your mind

But the water's shallow here and I am full of fear

And empty handed after 2 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

Cause 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 and

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
