California dreaming in the sunset

Repeating all the words that you once said

You said that forever wouldn't be enough

'Cause you seemed to care so much about us

Waking up in a bed that isn't mine

The sunrise isn't the only thing in mind

You were straight out of a movie scene

I found love at sixteen

And the streets still look the same

That they did way back in the days

I still remember your face

Even though you now have a different name

Drifting by the city lights, and

Everyone I see looks like you

'Cause I'm missing you

Yeah, I'm missing you

Yeah, I still do

Laid me on your chest so I felt safe and sound

Even if we'd break, the world is still round

Now I'm crying all these empty tears

Pretending it's impossible for me to fear

Staying awake all alone in the night

Thinking it would be the same if we didn't fight

Trying to get high on the prettiest face I've seen

That had me falling at sixteen

And the streets still look the same

That they did way back in the days

I still remember your face

Even though you now have a different name

Drifting by the city lights, and

Everyone I see looks like you

'Cause I'm missing you

Yeah, I'm missing you

Yeah, I still do

♪

Drifting by the city lights, and

Like the cars, my thoughts went right by

I think I'm missing you

I'm missing you again

'Cause the streets still look the same

Even though we went different ways

I can't think of you in another way

I still remember your face

Drifting by the city lights, and

Everyone I see looks like you

'Cause I'm missing you

Yeah, I'm missing you

Yeah, I still do

And the streets still look the same

That they did way back in the days

I still remember your face

Even though you now have a different name

Drifting by the city lights, and

Everyone I see looks like you

'Cause I'm missing you

Yeah, I'm missing you

Yeah, I still do
