California

Blue skies have chased me
away from a simple life
now i'm eating paper
this day isn't funny
our here it's complicated
California
California
Slow down good times
Slow down good times
Slow down good times
A cigarette and tea is all i had to eat
and a metal band scream was all i heard for weeks
Man this aint easy, but i wish all my friends could see me in
California
California
Slow down good times
Slow down good times
Lay there with a clear mind
I didn't wait on my graduation
Good friends, you're tied
It's all apart of chance now take it
slow down good times
Slow down good times
Slow down good times (California)
Slow down good times (California)
Slow down good times (California)
Slow down good times (California)
