California

[Verse 1]
Her heart used to hold me captive
Back when I was enough
Before life taught me lessons
When all that I knew was love
She told me the world was [?]
And that her life never began
She wanted to do a different start again

[Verse 2]
We walked down by the water
Breathed in the ocean air
She leans in and starts to kiss me
I'm [?] like I care
Maybe somewhere out there
Dreams turn reality
That's what she said before packed her bags and left for...

[Chorus]
California
You're [?] gave me back the love of my life
You seduced a soul with sunshine and blinding lights
And no matter how much sorrow you put me through
I still dream of you

[Verse 3]
I wish that it could be different
I wish I could turn back time
But if lighting is gonna strike twice
The storm has to change its mind
Go home and talk to Jesus
Ask Him if she'll return
I don't wanna know the answer, all I want is her

[Verse 4]
If I knew any better
I would just let her go
But I'm just too optimistic
Maybe she'll come back home
Whenever I see her face
I know that her heart is there
She'll stay for a little awhile
But chase her dreams right back

[Chorus]
California
You're [?] gave me back the love of my life
You seduced a soul with sunshine and blinding lights
And no matter how much sorrow you put me through
I still dream of you

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
I know that people are supposed to change
My foolish heart is solely left to blame
I hope she finds something that makes her stand and say
The words, "I love you"
