[Verse 1]
I've been Texas talkin' to myself at night
I've been Florida fallin' since I met you in '09
I've been Arizona angry over every word we said
And Tennessee-whiskey-wishin' I could take it back
[Chorus: Cassadee Pope & Sam Palladio]
I've been flyin' and cryin'
Tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart always let you back in
Keep trying to lose you in the Hollywood Hills
But I'm California dreamin' still
And I always will
[Verse 2: Cassadee Pope with Sam Palladio]
I'm Wisconsin wonderin' what you're doin' right now
I've been Rocky Mountain high tryna put you down
Put an ocean in between us, but it still don't work
I guess there ain't no drownin' out a California hurt
[Chorus: Cassadee Pope & Sam Palladio]
I've been flyin' and cryin'
Tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart always let you back in
Keep tryin' to lose you in the Hollywood Hills
But I'm California dreaming still
And I always will
[Bridge: Cassadee Pope with Sam Palladio]
I'm Mulholland drivin' with you sittin' shotgun
Santa Monica kissin' in the sinkin' sun
This Nashville night is where I should be
But my soul keeps searchin' for my California dream
[Chorus: Cassadee Pope & Sam Palladio]
I've been flyin' and cryin'
Tryna leave you where I've been
But the cracks in my heart always let you back in
Keep tryin' to lose you in the Hollywood Hills
But I'm California dreaming still
And I always will
[Outro: Cassadee Pope]
I always will

It’s been one of my favorites for a while, and my mom loves that song.

I was thinking about what would take the song up a notch. I definitely...
