California

I got a cottage with a sea view
I got a regular summer tan
I've been workin' up the courage to call you All year, ooh
But there's nothin' I can say
There are no good words left anyway
Besides people are cruel
And the world still moves without you, ooh

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me, you can
Leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed
And there's a light in your eyes
I don't know
Well I don't know
Why you still feel alone

And we were dyin' from the get-go
I was dreamin' but you never believed
I was tryin' to fit myself in the spaces between, ooh
And you were kind and sometimes cruel
You said all the world's love couldn't satisfy you
And nothin' could've hurt me as much as the truth
Ooh, darlin'

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me, you can
Leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed
And there's a light in your eyes
I don't know
Tell me 'cause I wanna find out
Do you still feel alone?

Love is elusive when you search for it
Don't I know?
Happiness sometimes, it just creeps in
Don't I know?
I'm goin' crazy
I've been wonderin'
Do you still feel alone?

I need to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I need to find

I got a cottage with a sea view
I got a regular summer tan
I know that I deserve more
But I still want you

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me, you can
Leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed
There's a light in your eyes
I don't know
Tell me 'cause I wanna find out
Do you still feel...?

Welcome to my California
(I need to find)
Even though I'm no good for ya
(Some kind of peace of mind)
There's a part of me still waitin' for you
(I need to find)
Oh, oh
Welcome to my happy ending
(I need to find)
Even though it's fun contending
(Some kind of peace of mind)
I know
I know you can't look back
You can never go back

Welcome to my Californian home
I know, you can never go back again
Welcome to my Californian home
I know, you can never go back again
Welcome to my Californian home
I know, you can never go back, I know
I know I need to find out
Do you still feel...?

Welcome to my Californian home
(I need to find)
Even though I'm no good for ya
(Some kind of peace of mind)
Deep inside there's a piece of me
There's a piece of me
Still waiting for you to come home
Welcome to my Californian home
(I need to find)
I know you can never look back
You can never look back again
(Some kind of peace of mind)
But tell me 'cause I wanna find out
Do you still feel alone?
Oh no
Do you still feel alone?
Oh no, no
