California Skies
California skies
far away from here
and the mood I'm in
seems to change with the tide
I'll follow the antagonist
just to gain the lead again
but I know that sometimes
I'll feel like going back
Was it you I saw
in my dreams last night
while I was drifting through the oceans
going through the motions of another life
and if I could start again I wouldn't try
to change a thing
Well the moments come and go
and I need some clarity
about when the time will be right
to make a change
I'm working on myself for now
trying to learn the ways around
being the man I always
dreamed I'd be
But if I keep looking back
I'll be running blind
if I could write a postcard
send it to before I got these scars
you could bring me the pen
but I don't think I'd know the words
to change who I am
Well I'll pass by the sailors
drifting out into the night
to chase down a wavelength
that'll rest my soul
And if I give all my time
to this love I have
if I could write a melody
something that you'll sing
as you go on your way
then I'd know I was right
when I realized the other day
that I wouldn't change a thing
