Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been searching my mind
I need a place to hide, it gets so hard to find
I've been searching my dreams
Faces look so strange, all the rooms have changed
[Chorus]
California
You run so far away
California
This time, you're gonna stay
[Verse 2]
I've been searching my life
Somewhere in the past, nothing ever lasts
I've been searching your eyes
It's so hard to breathe in your eternity
[Chorus]
California
You run so far away
California
This time, you're gonna stay
[Bridge]
With me for a little while
I wanna see that smile again
[Chorus]
California
You run so far away
California
This time, I'm gonna stay
