lyrics

Well I remember when my world was smaller and the future looked so big.
The grass was greener - weren't we all?
Back where I came from, when summer would come, the sounds were wholesome - the house fan sings.
The window is open down the hall.

We yearn for something fresh and new, a flame to which we're drawn;
to see the hero I could be, I tried to follow John.
So I don't believe in much, so I'll leave without a trace,
so I'll go to California, three long years to replace.

I met desire - oh, I could not defy her; no shoes required, bathing in the sun,
the music floating out to sea.
And I have never been so high as soaring home from that ride, burning on the inside like a dog on the run.
Love was wild, love was free.

Now I've burnt my tongue on mother's soup and words for lovers' ears.
I've tried my hands on the thicker threads of loosely-woven fears.
It's time to take the time I've done and put it in its place,
so I'm off to California with a smile on my face.
