Jepsen’s narrator flees city life in Los Angeles for the wide-open skies of Joshua Tree National Park. The tome of being able to go wherever you want contrasted with the context under which the song was written—in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic.
[Verse 1]
Runnin' from the night
I drove miles away to finally feel alone (Ah, ah, ah)
There's no moon in sight
But the desert lights could lead the way back home (Ah, ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm in the moment, livin' undercover, paintin' on each other
All the colors, I can't get enough
California dreaming's never what it seems, but
Here it comes, I know what I must do now
[Chorus]
I need it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I feel it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I see it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
(Da, da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da)
I know it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I own it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I show it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
(Da, da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da)
[Verse 2]
Give me paradise
I'll eclipse the stars and fall like ones before (Ah, ah)
I'm like Aphrodite
And it's fine to only know the things I know (Ah, ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm in the moment, livin' undercover, paintin' on each other
All the colors, I can't get enough
California dreaming's never what it seems, but
Here it comes, I know what I must do now
[Chorus]
I need it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I feel it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I see it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
(Da, da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da)
I know it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I own it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I show it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
(Da, da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da)
[Outro]
I'm feeling dramatic
I like the moon and the magic of this
Oh, I, oh, I, oh
I, I'm feeling dramatic
I like the moon and the magic of this
Oh, I, oh, I, oh
