Californian Light Lyrics by Childhood

Universal High

2017

[Refrain]
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm not feeling too well
I should take my time like my mother taught me so well
But I'm grieving, 'cause I'm leaving a feeling so deep alone
And I'm sleeping as I walk the streets of where I call home

[Pre-Chorus 1]
There's many times where I've been
Close, but no cigars there
I never loved to love as much as you loved to cry
So why does it feel it's all I'm doing all the time

[Chorus]
Yeah, it might be the way that I see it all (To get your love)
I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around (To get you high)
The vision was always wrong
Like the light that made us run
In California, I can't afford to make you mine
But baby I still make you cry

[Refrain]
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I hear you're doing pretty well
So I try and put you on the shelf
But I didn't get high to feel this strange
But I knew it had gone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Another cliché is how I've been
I'm glad that no one really cares
I never learnt to love as well as I could tell a lie
So now I'm wondering what I'm telling myself now

[Chorus]
Yeah, it might be the way that I see it all (To get your love)
I tried to be the one, but it's easy now I can see you now (To get you high)
The vision was always wrong
Like the light that made us run
In California, I can't afford to lie
Yeah, it might be the way that I see it all (To get your love)
I tried to be the one, but it's easy now I can see you now (To get you high)
The vision was always wrong
Like the light that made us run
In California, I can't afford to make you mine

[Outro]
I can't, I can't
Baby I can't see you cry
