lyrics

I was lost in California when I first saw your face
I was dying of indifference, you were playing in the waves.
I was lost in California when I finally found a way
to stop the dull incessant chatter of my brain.

I was stuck in some hotel room with the air conditioner high
I was drowning in some stupid magazine.
You were lying by the pool, you had that glimmer in your eye.
There was nothing I could do; I had been seen.

Time rolls down the lonely road,
I know you’re not the type
to change your name and say goodbye

Waiting on a masterpiece,
it only gets you feeling so,
feeling high and dry.

I was lost in California when I finally found a way
between the trash along the shoreline and the beauty of the bay
I was lost in California wasting all my given days
I was looking for a good excuse to stay

Somebody said the last thing on my mind before I left
was how divine it was, divine it was to be here.

Somebody said the last thing on my mind before I left
was how divine it was, divine it was to be here.

Somebody said the last thing on my mind before I left
was how divine it was, divine it was to be here.

Somebody said the last thing on my mind before I left
was how divine it was, divine it was to be here.
