Description
To a kid from the Midwest, California is as far away as it gets as far as music, life, culture, and literal distance. It's a perfect place to exile anything you want but know you can't have.
Lyrics
It's a crowded room But it's the only place I've made my bed I can work it out It's not like I'm about to lose my head I'm lying in it now If I could have had just a little more time with you I'd have begged you to stay But he took you away To California, away California, away Now I'm hoping you stay In California, away from me Midwest avenue It's just the best that I can do For now There's no Wilshire and the 1 No sand and there's no sun That's no enough Somehow I'm talking to myself Oh and I know I could just pick up the phone And sail across the way And say the words to find But I can't stop wasting time On words to save my pride
