Soundtracks - A Song About California by Hey Ocean! lyrics

"Write a song about California" he said "Write a song about California" he said to me before I left But I think I'll write a song about him instead Now I'm sittin' up on Hollywood hill Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place, maybe I never will But I'm thinkin' 'bout you still Walkin' down Sunset Boulevard Never thought writing a song about some place could be this hard With you I don't know where to start Here's to the one who kept me up all night Who sings exactly right and never lets me know Here's to the boy, the one with the bright eyes Who makes me realize I got a long long way to go to California Bah bah bah, bah dah bah Now I am standing on this pier With all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still ringing in my ears Oh I'm wishing you were here "Write a song about California" he said I think it's something everybody's got to do before they're dead But I wrote this song about you instead Here's to the one who kept me up all night Who sings exactly right and never lets me know Here's to the boy, the one with the bright eyes Who makes me realize I got a long long way to go to California Sun sets a-back down Venice Beach Oooh, famous names are at my feet Downscale folks with upscale parties Let's do lunch, let's do pilates Wasted minds but perfect bodies Here's to the one who kept me up all night Who sings exactly right and never lets me know Here's to the one, the one with the bright eyes Who makes me realize I got a long long way to go to California
