Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No love in the city waiting for you
Sad songs in the Mayflower in June
Keep prayin' to Mary, a life full of gold
Two lovers colliding, saving a soul
[Chorus]
Why do I feel like I'm in California?
You and me summer dreaming in California
Fly me far away from all my troubles
Why do I feel like I'm in California?
[PostChorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm
[Instrumental]
Mm-mm-mm-mm
[Instrumental]
I'm feeling the weight, walking the ghost town
Closing my eyes as they move into view
Shadows outside the station, my heart is breaking, nothing that I can do
And there's no love in the city waiting for you
[Chorus]
Why do I feel like I'm in California?
You and me summer dreaming in California
Fly me far away from all my troubles now
Why do I feel like I'm in California?
[PostChorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm (Dream on, young dreamer)
Mm-mm-mm-mm (Dream on, young dream)
Even if it takes me all night, all night, all night
Even if it takes me all night, all night, all night
[Chorus]
Why do I feel like I'm in California?
You and me summer dreaming in California
Fly me far away from all my troubles
Why do I feel like I'm in California?
[Refrain]
California, oh
[Instrumental]
Dream on, young dreamer
Dream on, young dreamer
