[Verse 1]
Only when you're in California
You drive along the coast
The towns you pa** are often ruthless
They leave you chasing ghosts, leave you chasing ghosts
[Pre-Chorus]
I, I'm dreaming of blue skies, if I, what if I close my eyes?
[Chorus]
I rush down the freeway slowly peeling back my brain
Fighting for patience while moving to a faster lane
I'm trying to enjoy the California rain
[Verse 2]
Someone sang that when you're lonely
You end up back and forth
Tonight I'm leaving San Diego
I take the 5 up north
[Pre-Chorus]
I, I'm chasing blue skies, I, I'm starting to blur the lines
[Chorus]
I rush down the freeway slowly peeling back my brain
Fighting for patience while moving to a faster lane
I'm trying to enjoy the California rain, the California rain
I rush down the freeway slowly peeling back my brain
Fighting for patience while moving to a faster lane
I'm trying to enjoy the California rain, California rain
