[Verse 1]
Tell me secrets
Cause I know you're scared
And you dream of California tonight
If you wait up
I can meet you there
And we could be in California tonight

[Chorus]
When everything that I can see
Goes dark I feel you here with me
And I, I'm holding on to you
When shadows try to swallow me
You're the only light I'll ever need
And I, I'm holding on to you

[Verse 2]
Tell me all this
Was another life
And what it's like in California tonight
Where the sun sets
In a perfect sky
I wanna be in California tonight

[Chorus]
When everything that I can see
Goes dark I feel you here with me
And I, I'm holding on to you
When shadows try to swallow me
You're the only light I'll ever need
And I, I'm holding on to you
[Bridge]
Salt in the air
Blood in my veins
No more black clouds
Just colorful days
Salt in the air
Blood in my veins
No more black clouds
Just colorful days

[Chorus]
When everything that I can see
Goes dark I feel you here with me
And I, I'm holding on to you
When shadows try to swallow me
You're the only light I'll ever need
And I, I'm holding on to you

[Outro]
Tell me secrets
Cause I know you're scared
And you dream of California tonight
