Lyrics
Overcast skies on my mind.
They keep us inside and confined.
Whole lifetimes spent staring at walls.
I promise you soon they will fall,
And I will take you by the hand.
Together we will run.
And we will start a new life
Under california sun.
The past will be cast to the waves,
Leaving us room for a change,
And we will find home there,
And we will grow old there.
California will be our escape.
California will be our escape.
And I'll miss nothing from this old place.
You're the only belonging I'll take.
Can you forgive how dejected I've been?
I've been caged, but when let go again,
I'll treat you like the sovereign kind.
I'll give you anything.
Just say you'll come away with me
So it can now begin.
The past will be cast to the waves,
Leaving us room for a change,
And we will find home there,
And we will grow old there.
California will be our escape.
California will be our escape.
Fumbling, it's hard to break free of ourselves
While moving on, still staying true to ourselves.
As change falls around us, just promise one thing.
Don't let this remain just a dream.
The past will be cast to the waves,
Leaving us room for a change,
And we will find home there,
And we will grow old there.
California will be our escape.
California will be our escape.
California will be our escape.
California will be our escape.
