Standing, waiting, on a west-end overpass,
headlights still find her, but the feeling never lasts.
she knows now, they can't hurt her, as she eases on the yellow line.
she pulls her dress up over…
and lets it fall down, lets it fall down…
she says, “life is just what happens when what you wanted never comes”.
she lifts her hair in her hands…
and lets it fall down, gonna let it fall down...
The kids are still all right. they're staying out late tonight.
looking for…
Chorus:
California, i still remember you.
i can't ignore you anymore.
california, you take everything…
i remember you.
The kids are still all right. we're all out late tonight.
we're looking for california.
come home… where you find california.
