Lyrics
Take me to California
Expressing a desire to go to California.
So I can be in the sun
Wishing to enjoy the sunny weather in California.
I want to live by the pier
Expressing a preference for living near the pier.
And wake up next the the ocean
Desiring to wake up next to the ocean.
You can come with me
Inviting someone to join in the journey to California.
And we can start again
Expressing a desire to start anew with someone.
In a new city
Considering moving to a new city for a fresh start.
We can try to blend in
Expressing a willingness to assimilate into the new city.
We could walk down the train lines
Suggesting the possibility of exploring unfamiliar places.
We could get lost
Embracing the idea of getting lost together.
Sit on the Hollywood sign
Contemplating unconventional experiences like sitting on the Hollywood sign.
Yeah we could break the law
Considering breaking societal norms or rules.
We could live there
Imagining the prospect of living in California.
We could live a lie
Contemplating living a life that may not be entirely truthful or authentic.
And I can grow my hair
Expressing a desire to let hair grow freely.
Til it covers my eyes
Describing a vision of hair covering the eyes.
All this time I was looking for more than just a place to call home
Reflecting on a search for a home that goes beyond a physical place.
All this time I thought we knew the score
Realizing a misconception about understanding life.
But we were looking at the wrong board
Acknowledging a previous misunderstanding or misjudgment.
Take me to California
Reiterating the desire to go to California.
Take me anywhere away from here
Expressing a general wish to leave the current location.
I want the sand under my feet
Desiring the feeling of sand under the feet.
A cigarette behind my ear
Imagining a casual setting with a cigarette behind the ear.
Maybe you'll go to school there
Suggesting the possibility of attending school in California.
And I could skate you home
Imagining a scenario of skating someone home.
And you could cut your hair
Contemplating a change in appearance by cutting hair.
And I'll cut my knees to the bone
Expressing a willingness to endure hardships or challenges.
My bones
Referring to the physical vulnerability of knees.
All this time I was looking for more than just a place to call home
Reiterating the quest for a meaningful home.
All this time I thought we knew the score
Revisiting a prior misconception about life's score.
But we were looking at the wrong board
Acknowledging the focus on the wrong aspects in the past.
