and they called her california

Ray Lamontagne

I ve been searching my mind
I need a place to hide,
It gets so hard to find
I ve been searching my dreams
Faces look so strange, all the rooms have changed

California
You run so far away
California
This time, you re gonna stay

I ve been searching my life
Somewhere in the past, nothing ever lasts
I ve been searching your eyes
It s so hard to breathe in your eternity

California
You run so far away
California
This time, you re gonna stay

With me for a little while
I wanna see that smile again

California
You run so far away
California
This time, I m gonna stay
