Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blue like the light surroundin' me
It all seems so different when I'm around it
See all these waves and waves of green
Keep on comin' like a dream until nothin' is the same
[PreChorus]
Sun goes down and it changes
Never holdin' on to anyone else
When you go, when you go, I can take you
Somewhere better than where you were before
[Chorus]
I wanna be in California
Smoke some weed outside in the summertime
They always said it's so bad for me
Everything I try makes me feel alive
Spent my whole life just thinkin' I had to change
Spent my whole life just thinkin' I had to change
I wanna be in California
Smoke some weed outside in the summertime
[PostChorus]
Time
[Verse 2]
I could just roll the windows down
Let the golden hour wash through the room
I hope it always stays around
All the clouds of smoke come into bloom
[PreChorus]
When the sun goes down and it changes
Never holdin' on to anyone else
When you go, when you go, I can take you
Somewhere better than where you were before
[Chorus]
I wanna be in California
Smoke some weed outside in the summertime
They always said it's so bad for me
Everything I try makes me feel alive
Spent my whole life just thinkin' I had to change
Spent my whole life just thinkin' I had to change
I wanna be in California
Smoke some weed outside in the summertime
[PostChorus]
Time
Time
[Chorus]
I wanna be in California
Smoke some weed outside in the summertime
I wanna be in California
Smoke some weed outside in the summertime
They always said it's so bad for me
Everything I try makes me feel alive
Spent my whole life just thinkin' I had to change
Spent my whole life just thinkin' I had to change
I wanna be in California
Smoke some weed outside in the summertime
