I met him on the edge of a good bye

i was standing there with no where left to fly

i was young but never green

a little wiser than my time it seemed

he told me bout the places we couldhide



wild and kind of crazy most of the time

my heart was hanging on his every line

i memorized his every thought

but the walls he had could never be brought down

and now he's not around

i guess i'm just another face left in the crowd



oh california

please come back to me

oh california

and who i want to be

live inside of me

i know you're lying somewhere in the arche or destiny

your memory is still eager here and i'll never set it free



oh california

please come back to me

oh california

who i want to be

lives inside of me

lives inside of me
