Chasing Dreams in California Sun: Valentino's Melancholy Tale
Lyrics
Well, I passed the wishing well and I threw my penny in
Expressing a hopeful gesture by throwing a penny in a wishing well, wishing for the person to return.
Sent a prayer on up above that you would come my way again
Sending a prayer for the person to come back into the speaker's life.
Yeah, I've seen some better days and in each on you were there
Reflecting on past difficulties and acknowledging the presence of the person during those challenging times.
Running circles through the graveyard throwing daisies in the air
Describing a scene of playfulness in a graveyard, possibly as a metaphor for unconventional expressions of love.
Oh, oh, Valentino

Oh, oh, my tears don't show
Emphasizing that outwardly, the speaker's tears are not visible.
But oh honey they flow
Contrasting the appearance of composure with the internal reality of tears that are flowing.
Well, I crossed the lakes and mountains, ended up in Hollywood
Describing a journey to Hollywood, fulfilling a predicted scenario of playing the piano in a pink hotel.
Playing piano in that pink hotel just like you said I would
Recalling a promise or prediction made by the person.
I kept looking out my window hoping one day you would come
Expressing anticipation and longing for the person's return while observing the world outside the window.
Going every shade of blue under that California sun

So much for the promises

So much for them daisy chains
Mentioning the futility of sentimental gestures like daisy chains in the face of broken promises.
Oh, why carry all those heavy dreams
Questioning the burden of carrying unfulfilled dreams when the desired person is the only true aspiration.
When the only one I really want is you
Declaring the true desire for the return of Valentino amid the heaviness of unfulfilled dreams.
