Lyrics
Just out of reach is the gold your rushing for
With bags under your eyes
I been chasing a rainbow
Wound up at your door
Wanna see the other side
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
When you're pouring all your heart out
But you're lying on the floor
All the cigarettes and hotels
Could be what you're looking for
But it's not what you expected, and you're left wanting more
Don't mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
See everybody thinks they know ya
They're only seeing what they wanna
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
We could dance in the street with the sun upon our skin
And wake up feeling burned
Under stars
We could freeze 'cause we've gotten used to heat
Where seasons never turned
It's not quite like I imagined, like I did before
When you're pouring all your heart out
But you're lying on the floor
All the cigarettes and hotels
Could be what you're looking for
But it's not what you expected, and you're left wanting more
Don't mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
See everybody thinks they know ya
They're only seeing what they wanna
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
Talk about the pretty parts
The ones you see on film
Happiness and skinny legs and living on a hill
Don't talk about the ugly parts, the loneliness you feel
You probably always will
'Cause it gets dark in California
I know it well, better than most, yeah
Don't mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
See everybody thinks they know ya
They're only seeing what they wanna
Oh, don't mind what anybody told ya
It still gets cold in California
