Waves are getting bigger
We braced ourselves but it’s not enough
Currents grown stronger
We try to swim but it’s not enough
it’s way too tough to breathe between each single stroke

California Dreaming, it’s not enough
Hazy mornings trying to lift me up
California Dreaming, it’s not enough to make it
But we’ll stay here to waste another year

Nights are getting colder
We warmed our hearts as the lightning struck
Hours are getting longer
We spilled our guts, but it’s not enough
There’s just enough left to keep us in one place

California Dreaming, it’s not enough
Hazy mornings trying to lift me up
California Dreaming, it’s getting tough to make it
But we’ll stay here to waste another year
