[Verse 1]
I've got a feeling like I'm almost there
And I think I might belong somewhere
As I cut these ties, I realize
I've been disbelieving in my own heart
And the deceiving is the hardest part
And I feel the knowing that I must be going
[Chorus]
Ojai, I don't wanna leave you behind
But you know that I made up my mind
So goodbye; I know I'm gonna see you again
And I'll be thinking of you until then, Ojai
[Verse 2]
I miss the seasons, I miss the land
I miss them for reasons I don't understand
I took it all for granted
I bloomed where I was planted
[Chorus]
Ojai, I don't wanna leave you behind
But you know that I made up my mind
So goodbye; I know I'm gonna see you again
And I'll be thinking of you until then, Ojai
[Chorus]
Ojai, I don't wanna leave you behind
But you know that I made up my mind
So goodbye; I know I'm gonna see you again
And I'll be thinking of you until then, Ojai
Ojai, Ojai
Ojai, I don't wanna leave you behind
But you know that I made up my mind, Ojai
Ojai was written by Julian Emery & Jim Irvin & Lissie.
Ojai was produced by Curt Schneider.
‘'I like the final track “Ojai”. It stands on its own as a well written song, I believe. It also leaves the listener, as the album ends, with like an open ended feeling…It’s the end of the California years but just the beginning of what’s to come.’'
