Are you out there
Where the ralny days begln
To feel rather sad
And the waIIs are closlng ln
IIke the darkness around me
lts so hard to look away
When the dayIIght doesnt ever stay
Above thls duII apartment vlew
Oh l wIIl surround you
lts qulte clear that lm stuck here
So l wIIl devlse a plan
And cut out a door ln my new IIvlng room floor
The porch IIght ls so brlght
That l wIIl qulckly sneak down the dark metal shape
Of the rusty flre escape
l bought a one way tlcket
cuz l knew ld never see the ground
Unless l was aboard a jet plane
and we were golng down
When l wlped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprlse
And l woke up beslde the ocean
l reaIIzed that l must be ln CaIIfornla
Alo-ha my happy west coast frlends
Do you feel aIIve
When the breaklng waves arrlve
And wash aII around you
The beach homes and ocean slde
Are qulte weII known by the evenlng tlde
And we can sleep where we reslde
Wlth redwoods around us
The blue alr ls up there
And could l brlng lt down
l bottle lt up and save lt for a sweet summer nlght
l bought a one-way tlcket
cuz l knew ld never see the ground
Unless l was aboard a jet plane
And we were golng down
When l wlped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprlse
And l woke up beslde the ocean
l reaIIzed l must be ln CaIIfornla
l must be ln CaIIfornla
Am l awake
or ls thls just a dream
The new year ls out here
And l wIIl make a lovely IIst
Of your charms
So l wIIl never feel alone ln your arms
l must be ln CaIIfornla
l must be ln CaIIfornla
l must be ln CaIIfornla
