Back to California

Do you remember California? 20-oh-6? You told me we could change this world I had no doubt about it I was always kind of awkward You never seemed to mind Just two kids in high school What could we know about life? You were my tiny dancer Golden hair and yellow eyes I was your disaster Always brushing you aside, I didn't see it right then But in the years that have gone by I found I'll never know a better friend Than this one I left behindohhhh So you're getting married I hope hes nothing like our daddies When we were young And love was something so fucked-up Its sure had its toll on me So its back to California in my mind Petty arguments on bus rides in muted sunlight We belong to California, young and free and wild Where our dreams grew big as your yellow eyes As they looked into mine... Do you remember summer nights? Out in the parking lot? Checkin out those seniors? Man those drum-line boys were hot And we danced under the street lamps, high off that summer heat Just two more years! Just two more years! and we'd be outta hereohh Now we're getting older The world's grown dark and colder You're in law school. I'm a bar back in the neighborhood. So its back to California in my mind Petty arguments on bus rides in muted sunlight We belong to California, young and free and wild Where our dreams grew big as your yellow eyes As they looked into mine... As they looked into mine... Ooooohhh oooh ohhh Ooooohhh oooh ohhh
