Burning in California Lyrics by Delta Rae

2020

The panic never stops
It’s the rush of wanting it so much
That it tears you up
So you drove out of San Francisco
With your head and your heart and nothing else to show
Saying I couldn’t wait for it
Even on my darkest day
And I stayed awake for it
Even on my darkest day

Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina?
Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina?
Oh, burning in Carolina
Oh, burning in Carolina

Hmm, oh

You wanted to go home
To the friends you know
And the haunts
That you call your own
But you choose
‘Cause you can’t take it all
You get a torch and a flame and burn the path you want
You're saying I broke my heart for it
Even on my darkest day
And I would’ve starved for it
Even on my darkest day

Was there a light?

Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina?
Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina?
Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina?
Was there a light that I saw burning in Carolina?

Oh, burning in Carolina
Oh, burning in Carolina
Oh, burning in Carolina
Oh, burning in Carolina
