I flew in on the plane yesterday
Nose pressed to the glass i watched us come into the bay
And then i asked myself why i left this place
Seeking solace in a change and now it`s changed my face
I know they`ll say there`s something to be said for trying out new things
But i know i say there`s something i`ve been missing here along the way
There`s something bout coming home to california
It`s so hot outside that i could fry an egg
But i`m eating taco bell and getting high instead
With my eyes spread wide i smoke a cigarette
Watch the sun roll by with nothing in my head
And i know they`ll say there`s something to be said for curiosity
But i know i say i`ll save my west coast dreaming for some other day
There`s something bout coming home to california
There`s something in the way we move
Something in the daily news
There`s something in the air we breathe
And something in the way we see
There`s something in these orange walls
The southern california fall
There`s something in the clothes she wears
And something in the way she stares at you
I`m so far away from home and i need it
