[Verse 1]
Only when you're in California
You drive along the coast
The towns you pass are often ruthless
They leave you chasing ghosts, leave you chasing ghosts

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I'm dreaming of blue skies
If I, what if I close my eyes?

[Chorus]
I rush down the freeway
Slowly peeling back my brain
Fighting for patience
While moving to a faster lane
I'm trying to enjoy the California rain

[Verse 2]
Someone sang that when you're lonely
You end up back and forth
Tonight I'm leaving San Diego
I take the 5 up north

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I'm chasing blue skies
I, I'm starting to blur the lines
[Chorus]
I rush down the freeway
Slowly peeling back my brain
Fighting for patience
While moving to a faster lane
I'm trying to enjoy the California rain
The California rain

I rush down the freeway
Slowly peeling back my brain
Fighting for patience
While moving to a faster lane
I'm trying to enjoy the California rain
California rain
