California Lyrics by Semisonic

California Lyrics

    Driven through the canyons I was
    Dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far
    Close enough to heaven if you
    Climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star

    I tried to get inside I bought a
    Ticket with my pride and I was gone right out of my head
    I went out for a ride to go
    Across a great divide and I ended up at home instead

    California
    I thought I should see
    Now I'm back home, yeah
    With twelve little pieces of me

    I was just a passenger a
    Rider on the tremors that were shaking all our beds at night
    A visitor a stranger thought I
    Might pass for a regular if I just kept out of the lights

    Tore my heart out from my chest
    Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul
    Chose the ones I loved the most
    Drove 'em all down to the coast
    Threw 'em in a big black hole

    California
    I thought I should see
    Now I'm back home, yeah
    With twelve little pieces of me
    California
    I dreamed I would find
    Some kinda sorta pick-me-up
    I got twelve little pieces of my mind
