So at last southern california,
sun sets like a long goodbye
i've been dreaming about it for days
but i don't ask why
I can feel it in my bones, it's a careless season
it started just the other day,
and what'd you expect that just for no reason i packed it in and drove away?
now i don't mean to pin this one on you darlin'
it's time i found something good.
when it comes right down, you're just one of many people that never really understood.
So at last southern california,
sun sets like a long goodbye
i've been dreaming about it for days
but i don't ask why
As i drove into a city painted on the desert
with everything 10 miles high, hard to believe that nobody will see what i see through my blood shot eyes,
now i don't mean to sound so young and naive, but i think we've found something good, and now i can feel me leaving who i used to be as we're driving into hollywood
So at last southern california,
sun sets like a long goodbye
i've been dreaming about it for days
but i don't ask why
so at last southern california,
sun sets enough to get by
i've been dreaming about it for days
and now i know why
I can feel it in my bones, its a careless season,
it started when i woke today
and now that i'm here it's all so very clear
the reason that i drove away
now i don't mean to call so early now darlin',
but the waves just feel so good,
and i'll always come around
and watch the sun go down,
just like i knew you would
So at last southern california
sun sets like a long goodbye
i've been dreaming about it for days
but i don't ask why
so at last southern california
sun sets enough to get by
i've been dreaming about it for days
and now i know why
