California Lyrics by LaPeer

90's Kids

0

[Verse 1]
A dial-up phone rings, and a girl picks up. The italics are all her voice
Hello?
Oh, hello Jeff!
I found myself alone in California
A solitary figment of my youth
I told them all I'd make my way back months ago
But I'm still too hung up on you, wo-o-ah
[Pre-Chorus]
Just trying to find my way back in my mind, woah
Just trying to find my way while there's still time
[Verse 2]
I tried to find the cause of my confusion
Maybe we were right, the time was wrong
I close my eyes and ceaselessly find you inside
I'm lost in all the words to my own song, wo-o-ah
[Pre-Chorus]
Just trying to find my way back to you
Just trying hard to figure out the truth
[Chorus]
Sometimes I can't sleep at night
Knowing that you'll be too good for him
Ten years down the line
You'll settle down in small-town Michigan
Light beer and cheap box wine
Wondering if he's cheating again
When you could've been my queen
[Verse 3]
I've lost all sense of what I had intended
I can't remember where this all began
But maybe jubilation led to youthful procrastination
So I bought myself a plane ticket and ran
[Chorus]
Sometimes I can't sleep at night
Knowing that you'll be too good for him
Ten years down the line
You'll settle down in small-town Michigan
Light beer and cheap box wine
Wondering if he's cheating again
When you could've been my queen
But you're scared of lovin'
[Pre-Chorus/Outro]
[Italics bold is "Jeff", the male voice]
A dial-up phone rings
Hello?
Just trying to find my way back to you
Jeff! What's happened between you and Marie? Marie is my friend
Just trying hard to figure out the truth
Besides, everybody knows you two are going steady! Don't try and pretend
Going steady? Me?
Me? I...
Well, thanks anyway
Well, I wonder if you'd like to go with me
