California (The Kooks) - Song.a.Day


Don't you know, baby, I'm a leading man
I dig down deep when I say I love you
Well, I can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you'll never see nothin'
Nothin' like this again

California, say that you love me
From all the darkness I couldn't break through
 Now I miss the ocean when I go to sleep
Oh man, it's gonna break my heart

Don't you know that I did the things I did
I rubbed your back while you were sleeping
But all along, baby, it was understood
That you were leaving, absolutely,
The very first day we met

California say that you miss me
From all the darkness I couldn't break through
I'm gonna miss you...

Such a tragic song. Leaving California always breaks my heart. :-(

California fun fact!
More immigrants settle in California than any other state!
