California

(album: Dressing Like A Stranger - 2022)

I will meet you back here someday after the storm
We can re-tell old stories
Oh, the times we were younger, in love in a hurry
Why worry?

You'd say, "Empty your questions out onto the floor
They're only keeping you heavy"
Oh, the light has this magic here, watch how it slow glows
Through the windows

I'm waiting for ya
In California
I've saved a spot beyond the crowded parking lot
We can sit and wait till summer fades away

Only thousands of miles, only no one I know
But I like when it's raining
There is a smile in your voice that you're barely containing
And I'm changing

I'm waiting for ya
In California
I've saved a spot beyond the crowded parking lot
We can sit and wait till summer fades away

Past the burning tree
It should feel like nowhere
Beyond the golden beach
There's a space for two there
A little further reach
Not nearly over
Wait for me
In California

I'm waiting for ya
In California
I've saved a spot beyond the crowded parking lot
We can sit and wait

Till summer fades away

Till summer fades away
