[Verse 1]
I found this corner in my mind
A homage to youth and days gone by
Those memories got left behind
Now have a purpose and a life

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we could leave
No more apologies

[Chorus]
We're just lovers on the run
California here we come (California)
Just when I thought those days had gone
Still wishing we were young
Young

[Verse 2]
Emotions tested and refined
As we stare at snapshots of our lives
We sat besides the waters edge
The smugglers cave above our heads

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we could leave
No more apologies
[Chorus]
We're just lovers on the run
California here we come (California)
Just when I thought those days had gone
Still wishing we were young
We were young
We're just lovers on the run
California here we come

[Bridge]
When I see your face
The future that awaits
Another city rising from the dust
Neon lights the way, way

[Chorus]
We're just lovers on the run
California here we come (California)
Just when I thought those days had gone
Still wishing we were young
We were young

We're just lovers on the run
California here we come (California)
Just when I thought those days had gone
I thought the love had gone
Gone (California)
