Audiostrobelight - California Gold Rush lyrics

rate me

Move to the west coast:

Forget your friends back home

Throw all your drama in a suitcase, become unknown

Abandon the empire

That nine to five life

You’ve got a whole big batch of big plans and now you’ve got to get it right

But when that day comes to leave you’ll catch sight of the ocean, man it never really shines like this and “I’m not scared of being alone,” she said

But I know her better than that

And it’s the way she flips her hair in the heat of this conversation

It’s saying more than the lack of her motivation

And she swears to me her only thought is to leave but it would take too many hands to count the friends that you would leave behind we took the long walk all the way from 81st street down to the boardwalk we never saw the rain roll in

(Chorus)

California’s got nothing on me

Unless you’ve got the guts to take back all these years

California’s got werewolves and zombies

I’ll fill in the blanks with anything,

Anything to keep you here

What if I showed up at the airport and I had all my things packed too?

What if I said I had a ticket and a seat right next to you?

What if I sold all my guitars and quit the band?

Man they would kill me!

What if I said you made this harder than I ever thought it could be

Remember when we used to ride around the backroads of Kempsville late night just to pass the time screaming every line

Why are you afraid of being part of something real?

Too afraid to call this home.

Why are you afraid of being part of something real?

I know you’re home

<br />
