Does the sun shine on you everyday
Wherever you are
Remember California, the things that we'd say
How special you are
And when you're sad, sad, sad does anyone listen?
Do you feel like a diamond?
I hope you feel like a million
Just forget the ones who let you go
Forget the ones too scared to know you
I'll be waiting here
To show you how to come back home
Some things never change
Like the way I say I love you
And even when you still need time to grow
If that's the only way you'll know
That some things never change
Like the way I say I love you
I hope it's summertime wherever you are
You're under the stars
Don't forget California
She's always there waiting for you
And when it gets bad, bad, bad
When life just gets so heavy
Remember that you're happy
Don't forget to take it easy
And forget the ones who let you go
Forget those ones, yeah they don't know you
I'll be waiting here
To show you how to come back home
Some things never change
Like the way I say I love you
And even when you still need time to grow
If that's the only way you'll know
That some things never change
Like the way I say I love you
And I watch you come and go
Yeah, these changing tides are all
I've ever really known, I've told you
And you run through lives unknown
But one thing you can always count on, I will always love you
I'll spend my lifetime trying to show you
I'll be waiting here
To show you how to come back home
Some things never change
Like the way I say I love you
And even when you still need time to grow
If that's the only way you'll know
That some things never change
Like the way I say I love you
Right through these unknown moments
Life's tides come and go
Right through these unknown moments
Life's tides come and go
