California
Chasing Sunshine: A Westward Anthem by Hawk Nelson
Lyrics
I'm not falling for anymore of these tricks
I've experienced deception and won't be fooled again.
I'm so tired of everything here
I feel exhausted and fed up with everything in my current situation.
The sun is calling me to the west
The allure of the sun in the western part of the country is beckoning me.
Everyone's having fun out there
Others are enjoying themselves in that location.
My bags are packed
I've packed my belongings.
And I'm lookin' out the window
Observing my surroundings through the window.
Everything is so outdated here
Things here seem outdated.
I want to move west to where the sun is shining
I desire to move west where the sun shines brightly.
I want my friends to all be there
I wish for my friends to join me there.
Let's pack up and move to California
Suggesting a collective decision to relocate to California.
She's got lots of friends out there
California is depicted as a place with many friends.
We'd never get bored 'cause we can go boarding
The prospect of never getting bored because of the opportunity to go boarding (possibly snowboarding or skateboarding).
Let's let the sunshine take us there
Expressing a desire to be led to California by the sunshine.
I'm tired of taking it slow
Expressing impatience with a slow pace of life.
So tired but I'm not sleeping
Fatigued but unable to sleep.
I'm wired about to pick up my board
Excitement about picking up a board (possibly for a sport) due to the anticipation of the weekend.
Cause we're all heading out for the weekend
Everyone is gearing up for the weekend.
Let's pack up and move to California
Reiteration of the decision to move to California.
Hop on board before we get older
Encouragement to join the move before getting older.
Raise your hands and shout for California
Encouraging excitement and expression for California.
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
A rallying call to action.
Let's pack up and move to California
Repeating the idea of moving to California.
She's got lots of friends out there
Emphasis on the abundance of friends in California.
We'd never get bored 'cause we can go boarding
Highlighting the perpetual excitement due to the possibility of boarding.
Let's let the sunshine take us there
Reiteration of being guided to California by the sunshine.
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
A repeated call to action.
Let's pack up and move to California
Repeating the decision to move to California.
She's got lots of friends out there
Restating the abundance of friends in California.
We'd never get bored 'cause we can go boarding
Emphasizing the perpetual excitement due to the opportunity for boarding.
Let's let the sunshine take us there
Reiteration of being led to California by the sunshine.

Raise your hands we're heading for the border

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
A final rallying call to action.
