It's so hard to look away When the daylight doesn't ever stay
Above this dull apartment view as Oh I will surround you
It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
So I'll devise a plan And cut out a door in my new living room floor
The porch light is so bright
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape Of the rusty fire escape
I bought a one way ticket Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean
I realized I must be in California
Aloha my happy west coast friends Do you feel alive
When the breaking waves arrive
And wash all around you The beach homes and ocean side Are quite well known by the evening tide And we can sleep where we reside
With redwoods around us
The blue air is up there
And could I bring it down I bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night
I bought a one way ticket Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes The warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean
I realized I must be in California
I must be in California
Am I awake or is this just a dream
The new year is out here
And I will make a lovely list Of your charms So I'll never feel alone in your arms
I must be in California
I must be in California
I must be in California
