California Lyrics by Metro Station

Metro Station

2007

[Verse 1]
If I strum chords, would you sing a song with me?
If I leave town would you leave along with me?
And we can fly away to outer space
We can find a way to leave this place
[Refrain]
We don't need a map and you can throw your phone away
We don't wanna hear the things we know they're gonna say
You don't trust yourself but girl trust in me
Don't look in the mirror the past you don't wanna see
[Chorus]
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California?
[Verse 2]
If we leave our friends then we can be together
We can leave this town for if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats
[Chorus]
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California?
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California?
[Bridge]
Hypnotized by the carbon monoxide
Would turning back be a good idea?
Your cigarette after cigarette
Cannot help to calm your fear
Now I'm still driving, just keep sleeping
We'll keep moving
But I'm not leaving, no I'm not leaving
[Chorus]
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California?
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California?
What do you say we leave for California?
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California?
