California Lyrics by Darren Hayes

0

I got a cottage with a sea view
I got a regular summer tan
I've been working up the courage to call you all year
But there's nothing I can say
And there are no good words left anyway
Besides people are cruel
And the world still moves without you
And welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can
Leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed
And there's a light in your eyes
I don't know
Well I don't know
Why you still feel alone
And we were dying from the get go
I was dreaming but you never believed
I was trying to fit myself in the spaces between
And you were kind and sometimes cruel
You said all the world's love couldn't satisfy you
And nothing could have hurt me as much as the truth
Oh darling...
Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can
Leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed
And there's a light in your eyes
I don't know
Tell me 'cause I want to find out
Do you still feel alone?
Love is elusive when you search for it
And don't I know
Happiness sometimes it just creeps in
Don't I know it
I'm going crazy I've been wondering
Do you still feel alone?
I need to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I need to find
I got a cottage with a sea view
I got a regular summer tan
I know that I deserve more
But I still want you
And welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can
Leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed
And there's a light in your eyes
I don't know
Tell me 'cause I want to find out
Do you still feel?
Welcome to my California
Even though I'm no good for you
There's a part of me that's still waiting for you
Welcome to my happy ending
Even though it's fun pretending
I know
I know you can't look back
You can never go back
I know
You can never go back again
I know
You can never go back again
I know
You can never go back I know it
I need to find out
Do you still feel?
Welcome to my California
Even though I'm no good for you
Deep inside there's a piece of me
There's a piece of me
Still waiting for you to come home
I know you can never look back
Can never look back again
But tell me 'cause I want to find out
Do you still feel alone?
Do you still feel alone?
