my california dreamer
i didn't know about love or what it felt to fall for someone i couldn't see
your dark hair and gorgeous smile still a mystery to me
your name haunts my memories from the time you disappeared
what happened to us? what happened to you?
i flew a million miles to the city of angels
hoping you hadn't abandoned it yet
but instead of finding you underneath the palms
i fell in love with the ocean
santa monica kept me warm
you told me you'd be around
you were no where to be found
the only thing i had was a cheap hotel room duvet
and a wandering imagination of what could've been
what would we have done if it was us alone?
the worst of my teenage years with an enigmatic baby
swimming in the neon pool by the bar at midnight
drowning in what could've been you
i still wonder where you are, my california lover
