Dear California,

Stopped believing in god when I left you
Can't stop dreaming of oceans so damn blue
I always come back to you
Memories flowing through my headphones
Close my eyes can almost feel your warm glow
I live inside your echoes

Rain is pouring, open all the windows
Nostalgia's coursing, got you in my blood flow
Soak me up 'cause I'm in California tonight (in my mind)
I like my sand hot, holy water cold
With my skin on fire 'cause it's good for the soul
Slow me down, my heart beats on Pacific Time (in my mind)

Backwards looking is my preferred view
Once it takes you there's nothing else you can do
Enjoy the rose tinted hue

'Cause the rain is pouring, open all the windows
Nostalgia's coursing, got you in my blood flow
Soak me up 'cause I'm in California tonight (in my mind)
I like my sand hot, holy water cold
With my skin on fire 'cause it's good for the soul
Slow me down, my heart beats on Pacific Time (in my mind)

Stopped believing in god when I left you
