[Verse 1]
I was having dreams of California
And now I'm here, I only dream of you
Roll down the windows in the heatwave
I can't spend another night playing it cool
[Chorus]
And it hits me every time, alright
I leave you, then I need you by my side
Tonight, forever
And I know I said I'm fine, but I lied
I can't fake it anymore to save my life
Come, make it better
[Post-Chorus]
Got a whole new view, now I'm back on the plane
When I'm thinking of home, I picture your
Face
[Verse 2]
Knew it from the moment that I saw you
It's funny how the doubt can still creep in
I'm on the road and you're working in the city
And I'm losing track of just how long it's been
Woah
[Chorus]
And it hits me every time, alright
I leave you, then I need you by my side
Tonight, forever
And I know I said I'm fine, but I lied
I can't fake it anymore to save my life
Come, make it better
[Post-Chorus]
Got a whole new view, now I'm back on the plane
When I'm thinking of home, I picture your
Face
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And it hits me every time, alright
I leave you, then I need you by my side
Tonight, forever
And I know I said I'm fine, but I lied
I can't fake it anymore to save my life
Come, make it better
[Outro]
Got a whole new view, now I'm back on the plane
When I'm thinking of home, I picture your
Face
Face
