I've been starin' up
at the greyest skies
tryna find myself some
luck but it's runnin' dry
It's like the weather
makes the worst
of my cloudy mind
I could really use
a dose of some paradise
Sometimes you gotta run
from a broken heart
before I turn into a ghost
need a brand new start
Get myself headed to the
coast man it ain't that far
yeah they got sun in L.A.
and some shinin' stars
I've been dreamin'
'bout the west coast
Found some faces
that I don't know
seein' signs for California
Trade the shade
for somethin' warmer
I've been dreamin'
'bout the west coast
where the people
take it real slow
I need the sun
for just a year
I'll kiss the sky
and disappear
Ain't felt a drop
now for forty days
but still they're washing
cars and they don't
show any age
Ain't nothin' that
you want'll cost
you more than time
if you're tryna
find yourself
better get in line
I'm countin' up my money
and spendin' to get it right
got the future
in my pocket
I'm spendin' it all tonight
Like the prophet
with a vision
I finally see the light
and you know
I've been dreamin'
'bout the west coast
found some faces
that I don't know
Seein' signs for California
trade the shade
for somethin' warmer
I've been dreamin'
'bout the west coast
Where the people
take it real slow
I need the sun
for just a year
I'll kiss the sky
and disappear
When we last saw
the starry skies
all I wanna do is fly
take me where the
sun shines bright, oh
I've been dreamin'
'bout the west coast
time to find
myself a new glow
I need the sun
for just a year
I'll kiss the sky
and disappear
I've been dreamin'
'bout the west coast
found some faces
that I don't know
Seein' signs for California
trade the shade
for somethin' warmer
I've been dreamin'
'bout the west coast
Where the people
take it real slow
I need the sun
for just a year
I'll kiss the sky
and disappear
