California

His love hit like a wave over my soul
Blue water pulled me under, wouldn't let me go
Trapped below my conscious, can’t escape but I'd
I'd drown in ripples of this pain if I could
I’m not trying to separate, pulling us away
The currents got a hold
We found love
In southern California
Stole my heart
Sometime in the summer
The day he ran
And left me for another
The skies turned grey
In sunny California
Our nights spent awake under city stars
Laid up below what felt a work of art
These golden lights inspired up a million dreams
I just had one that looked like you and me
We had a bitter fate, she's pulling you away
The currents got a hold
And
We found love
In southern California
Stole my heart
Sometime in the summer
The day he ran
And left me for another
The skies turned grey
In sunny California
