Met him on the edge of a goodbye
I was standing there with nowhere left to fly
I was young but ever grim
A little wiser than my time had seen
You told me about the places we could hide
Wild and kinda crazy most of the time
My heart was hangin' on his every line
I'd memorize his every thought
But the walls he had could never be brought down
And now he's not around
I guess I'm just a face left in the crowd
Oh, California
Please come back to me
Oh, California
You're who I wanna be
Live inside of me
A vivid picture plays inside my head
Of things you swore we'd never do again
Then he put on that LA face
And he left me with a bittersweet taste of life
And that's enough to keep me alive
Oh, California
Please come back to me
Oh, California
You're who I wanna be
Live inside of me
I know you're lyin' somewhere in the arms of destiny
Your memory, it still lingers here
And I'll never set it free, Ohhh (continues into chorus)--
--Ohhhh, (California)
Please come back to me
Oh, California
You're who I wanna be
Live inside of me
Live inside of me
