Hotels and cigarettes And empty bars where I just sit And contemplate the things that I can't know And all I ask of you are honest words Simple truths A place to lay my head when I get lost Nothing here is right Guess I'll shut my eyes Come to California 'cause I've been lonely for you We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise Come to California Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight Well I can't see the sky I watch the waves disappear beneath the boardwalk Then I blink my eyes Stare farther down the beach I'll get drunk this time on moons far and wide In my defense I'd like to say at least it's always sweet Nothing here is Right Guess I'll shut my eyes Come to California 'cause I've been lonely for you We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise Come to California Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight Well I can't see the sky Bridge: And I don't know if I believe I'm everything I should be If I'd never been for you Love I am drowning in this change It's washing everything I know and am confident with Come to California 'cause I've been lonely for you We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise Come to California Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight Well I can't see the sky Come to California 'cause I've been lonely for you (I can't see the sky) We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise (Lord I can't see the sky) Come to California Nothing's right without you and even in the daylight (I can't see it) (I can't see it) Well I can't see the sky (I can't see it)
