No California

We used to drive to the ocean, lie by the waves Bathe in the moment, now I'm alone I pray for rain to come Take me away, mm Away from the hills full of promise, streets full of pain Even in winter, bright sunny days I pray for rain to come Oh, but it never does I gotta get outta here, start a whole new life Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright Everything around here, everything 'bout this place Just brings me down, ooh 'Cause there ain't no California without you Without you, yeah, there ain't no California Yeah, there ain't no California without you Without you, yeah, there ain't no California, ooh It's cold in your shadow, all that remains Ghosts in the desert, should I run away Or pray for strength to come? I'll run away (away), mm I gotta get outta here, start a whole new life Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright Everything around here, everything 'bout this place Just brings me down, ooh 'Cause there ain't no California without you Without you, yeah, there ain't no California Yeah, there ain't no California without you Without you, yeah, there ain't no California, ooh I'll keep runnin', baby, I'll keep runnin' 'Til you stop runnin' through my mind And I'll keep lovin' you, I'll keep lovin' you I don't really know why, I know that I Gotta get outta here, start a whole new life Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright Everything around here, everything 'bout this place Just brings me down, ooh 'Cause there ain't no California without you Without you, yeah, there ain't no California Yeah, there ain't no California without you Without you, yeah, there ain't no California, ooh I'll keep runnin', baby, I'll keep runnin' 'Til you stop runnin' through my mind
