Semisonic - California Lyrics
Driven through the canyons I wasDazzled by the mountains and we didnt go very farClose enough to heaven if youClimb up on a mansion you too can swing like a starI tried to get inside I bought aTicket with my pride and I was gone right out of my headI went out for a ride to goAcross a great divide but I ended up at home insteadCaliforniaI thought I should seeNow Im back home, yeahWith twelve little pieces of meI was just a passenger aRider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at nightA visitor a stranger thought iMight pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lightsTore my heart out from my chestMixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soulChose the ones I loved the mostDrove em all down to the coastThrew em in a big black holeCaliforniaI thought I should seeNow Im back home, yeahWith twelve little pieces of meCaliforniaI dreamed I would findSome kinda sorta pick-me-upTwelve little pieces of my mindCaliforniaI thought I should seeNow Im back home, yeahWith twelve little pieces of meCaliforniaI dreamed I would findSome kinda sorta pick-me-upTwelve pieces of my mind
