Don't know
What I was looking for when I went home
I found me alone
Sometimes
I need someone to say "You'll be alright"
"Whats on your mind?"
But the water's shalow here
And I am full of fear
And empty-handed after two long years

Another sunny day in California
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it

Back home
I always thought I wanted so much more
Now I'm not to sure
'Cause sometimes
I miss knowing someone's there for me
And feeling free
Free to stand beside
The ocean moonlight

And light myself a smoke beneath
The dark Atlantic sky

Another sunny day in California
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it

Everybody here is livin'life in fear of fallin' out of line
Tearin' lives apart breakin' lots of hearts just to pass the time
And the eyes get red in the back of your head
This place will make you blind
Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine

Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here
And wash away the west coast dreamin' from my eyes
There's nothing real for them to see here

Another starry night in California
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it
