Anna Waronker decided to rework this song for her 2011 sophomore solo album California Fade. The new version has a more reflective feel whereas this version is much poppier. The new version also has slightly adjusted lyrics.
[Verse 1]
Things move slowly
I work at my own pace
I won't be lonely
On this California fade
[Verse 2]
We'll go together
I'll take you on the ride
Into my future
Into the rest of my life
[Chorus]
Oh, this rest of mine
For the rest of my days
I won't be satisfied until the California fade
Until the California fade
[Verse 3]
I'm just hoping
I'm just on my knees
I think I'm begging
I think I'm begging please
[Verse 4]
Let me out there
Let me see the world
Through the eyes of a stranger
Through the eyes of a girl
[Chorus]
Oh, this rest of mine
For the rest of my days
I won't be satisfied until the California fade
Until the California fade
[Bridge]
Ohhh ohhh ohhhhhhhh
Ohhh ohhh ohhhhhhhh
Ohhh ohhh ohhhhhhhh
Ohhh ohhh ohhhhhhhh
[Verse 5]
I know you're out there
And I am on my way
I can see the other side now
And I can feel it everday
[Chorus]
Oh, this rest of mine
For the rest of my days
I won't be satisfied until the California fade
[Chorus]
Oh, this mess of mine
Oh, this mess that I create
I won't be satisfied until the California fade
Until the California fade
