California

You don't ever have to
Be stronger than you really are
When you're lying in my arms, baby

You don't ever have to
Go faster than your fastest pace
Or faster than my fastest cars

I shouldn't have done it
But I read it in your letter
You said to a friend
That you wish you were doing better
I wanted to reach out
But I never said a thing

I shouldn't have done it
But I read it in your letter
You said to a friend
That you wish you were doing better
I wanted to call you
But I didn't say a thing
(Two, three, four)

Oh, I'll pick you up
If you come back to America, just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love
I'll catch you on the flipside
If you come back to California
You should just hit me up

We'll do whatever you want
Travel wherever how far
We'll hit up all the old places
We'll have a party, we'll dance 'til dawn

I'll pick up all of your Vogues
And all of your Rolling Stones
Your favorite liquor off the top shelf
I'll throw a party all night long

You don't ever have to
Be stronger than you really are
When you're lying in my arms, and, honey

You don't ever have to
Act cooler than you think you should
You're brighter than the brightest stars

You're scared to win, scared to lose
I've heard the war was over
If you really choose
The one in and around you

You hate the heat, you've got the blues
Changing like the weather
Oh, that's so like you
The Santa Ana moves you
(Two, three, four)

Oh, I'll pick you up
If you come back to America, just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love
I'll catch you on the flipside
If you come back to California
You should just hit me up

We'll do whatever you want
Travel wherever how far
We'll hit up all the old places
We'll have a party, we'll dance 'til dawn

I'll pick up all of your Vogues
And all of your Rolling Stones
Your favorite liquor off the top shelf
I'll throw a party all night long

Oh, I'll pick you up
If you come back to America, just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love
I'll catch you on the flipside
If you come back to California
You should just hit me up
