Charlie - California lyrics

Thomas-Colbeck-Gadd-Organ The first time I met you, I tried to forget you You showed me the worst of your sides But all that I'd seen was that town full of dreams Where people are living out lies Now I've been back and seen the other side of you And from where I stand, well, I must say I like the view Surrender ... I surrender Back here on earth I'm dreaming of sunshine, good times For whatever it's worth, I'm coming back So hold on, it's not too late, I said Hold on, I can't wait California ... California Your place of extremes where there's no inbetweens Oh, you can be one living hell You've still got your dreamers, your liars and your schemers But you can be heaven as well 'Cause now I've learnt there's more to you than meets the eye You've got me hooked, I'm coming back and that's no lie I'll be there ... I will be there I just can't wait 'til I can be with you right through They call you the Golden State, so I'll Hold on, they're not wrong, I said Hold on, can't wait too long California ... California Now don't get me wrong, I have lived here so long And my home it always will be 'Cause when I'm away I can't wait for the day To get back to my sanity But knowing you is like some crazy love affair So if I leave don't ever think that I don't care About you ... care about you I'm six thousand miles away from those bright lights, warm nights Could take me some time, but I'll be there So hold on, it's not too late, I said Hold on, I can't wait California ... California
