[VERSE]
California dreaming in the sunset
Repeating all the words that you once said
You said that forever wouldn't be enough
'Cause you seemed to care so much about us

Waking up in a bed that isn't mine
The sunrise isn't the only thing in mind
You were straight out of a movie scene
I found love at sixteen

[PRE]
And the streets still look the same
That they did way back in the days
I still remember your face
Even though you now have a different name

[Chorus]
Drifting by the city lights
And everyone I see looks like you
'Cause I'm missing you
Yeah, I'm missing you
Yeah, I still do

[VERSE]
Laid me on your chest so I felt safe and sound
Even if we'd break the world is still round
Now I'm crying all these empty tears
Pretending it's impossible for me to fear
Staying awake all alone in the night
Thinking it would be the same if we didn't fight
Trying to get high on the prettiest face I've seen
That had me falling at sixteen, oh

[PRE]
And the streets still look the same
That they did way back in the days
I still remember your face
Even though you now have a different name

[Chorus]
Drifting by the city lights
And everyone I see looks like you
'Cause I'm missing you
Yeah, I'm missing you
Yeah, I still do

[BRIDGE]
Drifting by the city lights and
Like the cars my thoughts went right by
I think I'm missing you
I'm missing you again

'Cause the streets still look the same
Even though we went different ways
I can't think of you in another way
I still remember your face
[Chorus]
Drifting by the city lights
And everyone I see looks like you
'Cause I'm missing you
Yeah, I'm missing you
Yeah, I still do

And the streets still look the same
That they did way back in the days
I still remember your face
Even though you now have a different name

[OUTRO]
Drifting by the city lights
And everyone I see looks like you
'Cause I'm missing you
Yeah, I'm missing you
Yeah, I still do
