Back To California - Steve Grand

Do you remember California  20 oh 6

You told me we could change this world
I had no doubt about it
I was always kind of awkward
You never seemed to mind

Just two kids in high school

What could we know about life

You were my tiny dancer

Golden hair and yellow eyes

I was your disaster

Always brushing you aside
I didn't see it right then

But in the years we've said goodbye

I found I'll never find a better friend
And than this one I left behind    Oh
So you're getting married

I hope he's nothing like our daddies

When we were young
And love was something so fucked-up

It's sure had it's toll on me

So it's back to California in my mind

Petty arguments on bus rides in muted sunlight

We belong to California
Young and free and wild
Where our dreams grew big as your yellow eyes
As they looked into mine

Do you remember summer nights
Out in the parking life

Checkin out those seniors
Man those drum-line boys were hot
And we danced under the street lamps
High off that summer heat

"Just two more years
Just two more years "
And we'd be outta here oh
Now we're getting older

The world's grown dark and colder

You're in law school
I'm a bar back in the neighborhood

So it's back to California in my mind

Petty arguments on bus rides in muted sunlight

We belong to California  young and free and wild
Where our dreams grew big as your yellow eyes
As they looked into mine

As they looked into mine

Oh Oh
