Verse 1:
Hey California I still consider you my friend
Even if we never talk or even write again
I will always recall to my mind all the good times that we found
What we have is like the mafia; once you're in you ain't never gettin' out
Now I'm standing at the gates to the graveyard of rock star dreams and so it seems
That I never pegged you for somebody who would settle down
Its an uphill climb keeping your dreams alive
Don't worry 'bout you and I ...It'll be alright
Verse 2:
Hey California as long as I have you on the line
Even if our fates do not erase the separation of space and time
You can always picture me livin' in some back room of your mind
Even though we're both as good as ghosts our memories will never die
Chorus:
Hey.... California
I see the kind of state that you've been livin' in
Hey....California babe
Whatever you need you're gonna have it all in the end
Bridge:
Your blue sky turns to gray when you pin your hopes on just one dream
When you only think about your life in black white you're bound to miss all the beautiful colors in between
Verse 3:
Hey California guess we'll never really say goodbye
'Cause this is not the end its just a separation of space and time, a separation of space and time, a separation of space and time.
