California

[Verse 1]
Slow day
Streets are on fire
Hey, friend
It's been a long while
Back down
To the pier last summer
Turn around
Go back to California again

[Chorus]
She'll still be waiting there for you
California
Where all the people have returned
I guess you'll have to take her word
She'll never turn her back on you
Dead in the water
And now I wish that I had stayed
The stars are never gonna fade
How could I ever face myself again if I let you down?

[Verse 2]
Firеfly
Trapped in a jar in
Tennessee
Avoid thе long distance
Breakdown
Jump the California
Faultline
Hey, you're just in time for the rain
Dream, baby, dream

[Chorus]
She'll still be waiting there for you
California
Where all the people have returned
I guess you'll have to take her word
She'll never turn her back on you
Dead in the water
And all the wishes that you made
Her stars are never gonna fade
How could I ever face myself again if I let you down?

[Chorus]
She'll still be waiting there
California
Where all the people have returned
I guess you'll have to take her word (California)

[Outro]
Like a long lost forgotten road
Wake up now, we're going home
Dream, baby, dream
Dream, baby, dream
California
Dream, baby, dream (Hey)
