California Lyrics by Paige (NZL)

King Clown

2023

[Verse 1]
I thought I'd be there by now
I'm twenty-four, still in my parents' house (Oh-oh)
I thought I could make it out
Of a city where nothing comes around
[Pre-Chorus]
And I guess I'm still depressed
Doesn't matter how good it gets
It doesn't go away
I've got myself to blame
And how high is the climb?
And the stars, do they align with my cloudy brain?
I've got myself to blame
[Chorus]
What's it like in California?
Is it pretty? I always wonder
Or is it shitty like people say?
It doesn't matter 'cause I wanna make it in LA
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I thought I'd be good enough
I've got the words to fill the pages up (Up)
Where's the line? Where's the time when you're nearly twenty-five?
Am I getting where, where I'm supposed to get?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I guess I'm still depressed (Oh-oh)
But what do you expect (Oh) when the world has slowed and there's no room to grow?
And how high is the climb (Oh-oh) to Sunset and Vibe?
It's cold in the shade, I gotta get away
[Chorus]
What's it like in California?
Is it pretty? I always wonder
Or is it shitty like people say?
It doesn't matter 'cause I wanna make it in LA
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I wanna make it in LA
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
