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, hmm

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

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, hmm

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

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
