[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
