[Intro]
[Verse]
In the sun-kissed fields where we used to play,
Under the palm trees, we'd chase away the day.
Remember how we'd run along the beach,
With your ex-girlfriend, we were just kids, you and me.
[Chorus]
California, California, where our hearts once b**t,
Now I'm left here, in this empty street.
Regret whispers in the cool night breeze,
Holding onto memories of you and the kids we used to be.
[Verse]
The old boardwalk, it still stands tall,
Where we'd dance under the stars, feeling small.
But now the laughter's gone, the echoes too,
Left with only shadows of what we knew.
[Pre-chorus]
Those golden sands, they hold so much,
Of our love and lost, of our childhood trust.
Kids running wild, chasing after dreams,
California, why do you feel like a dream?
[Chorus]
California, California, where our hearts once b**t,
Now I'm left here, in this empty street.
Regret whispers in the cool night breeze,
Holding onto memories of you and the kids we used to be.
[Outro]
