[intro]

[verse]

I can’t believe how much snow came down the day you left for California.

you always told me you had to go but it took me by surprise.

I would have held you through the night if I’d known it would take forever. 

Before I could have you back in my life and stare into your eyes.

Sure you say you want to stay 

now that you’re playing in the band.

I tell myself I’m happy here and doing the best I can.

Everyday goes the same old way, 

With you still on my mind. 

It escapes me how happy you seem to be but I still don’t buy it. 

[pre chorus]

But Isn’t that the way life goes.

You think you know someone in a special way. 

They find a place in your heart you learn things that no one else knows

then get scared and run away!

[chorus]

Honey, I’m coming to California to tell you that I love you. 

And take your back home with me to where you want to be.

You can say you don’t feel the same. 

But we both know that’s a lie.

Quit playing the game, i know you feel the same. 

So I’m coming.

To California. 

[instrumental violin solo]

[bridge]

I’m sending you this letter, 

No matter the rainy weather 

Better Pack your bags and get ready,

Because I can’t (I can’t)

Live without you near me.

[breakdown]

Woah woah woah woah woah.

[chorus]

Honey, I’m coming to California to tell you that I love you. 

And take your back home with me to where you want to be.

You can say you don’t feel the same. 

But we both know that’s a lie.

Quit playing the game, i know you feel the same. 

So I’m coming.

To California!
