Zarif California
CALIFORNIA
I ain’t the person I’m supposed to be he said to all of his friends
It wasn’t that I wasn’t born like me it’s just that’s where similarity ends
And he took on a different style of life he thought required for
The new identity he made disregarding all that went before
So he packed his bags and went where dreams made up the air
So he could breathe the thoughts that he could never share
And it makes me wish that you were still here with me
But I know that this is where you should be
Won’t you tell California I got more time on my hands
Won’t you leave a little stardust to make me feel at home
Take a little inside out to the cold with me
So when I step outside it’s warm
Leave a little of you here till I’m old with me
You’re face’ll never change from the picture on my soul
You’re face’ll never change from the picture on my soul
And he slowly faded out of sight and out of mind
Leaving friends imagining alone what he would find
And this is my way of saying that it’s all alright
Cos I know that I won’t see you for a long long while
Won’t you tell California I got more time on my hands
Won’t you leave a little stardust to make me feel at home
Take a little inside out to the cold with me
So when I step outside it’s warm
Leave a little of you here till I’m old with me
You’re face’ll never change from the picture on my soul
You’re face’ll never change from the picture on my soul
