California - Semisonic

Driven through the canyons I was

Dazzled by the mountains and we, didn’t go very far

Close enough to heaven if you

Climb up on a mansion you too can, swing like a star

I tried to get inside

I bought a ticket with my pride

And I was gone right out of my head

I went out for a ride to go

Across a great divide

And I ended up at home instead

California

I thought I should see

Now I’m back home, yeah

With twelve little pieces of me

I was just a passenger

A rider on the tremors

That were shaking all our beds at night

A visitor a stranger thought

I might pass for a regular

If I just kept out of the lights

Tore my heart out from my chest

Mixed it up in my mind

With the best freshest pieces of my soul

Chose the ones I loved the most

Drove 'em all down to the coast

Threw 'em in a big black hole

California

I thought I should see

Now I’m back home, yeah

Got twelve little pieces of me

California

I dreamed I would find

Some kinda sorta pick-me-up

I got twelve little pieces of my mind

California

I thought I should see

Now I’m back home, yeah

Got twelve little pieces of me

California

I dreamed I would find

Some kinda sorta pick-me-up

I got twelve little pieces of my mind

Twelve little pieces of my mind

Twelve little pieces of my mind

Twelve little pieces of my mind, ohh
