Lyrics
California is a great big nation of one
California is depicted as a vast and independent entity.
They never knew what they wanted until it was already gone
People often realize the value of something only after losing it.
What do they do with the light
Raising a question about what people do with the light in the morning when they wake up alone.
In the morning when they wake up alone?
Reflecting on the loneliness of waking up without someone.
They just go home
Emphasizing the act of returning home as a response to solitude.
They just go home
-You're the nicest, nicest boy I've ever met
Complimenting someone as the nicest boy ever met.
And then I think about you, then I think about you again and again
Recurring thoughts about the person, suggesting a strong impact on the speaker's mind.
Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Suggesting the idea of enjoying each other's company without any specific activity, finding joy in the simple act of being together.
Nothing at all for a while, I like the way you smile
-I could be your state and I could be your nation
Expressing a willingness to be a significant part of someone's life, offering to be their state or nation.
It doesn't get better than home, now does it?
Acknowledging that home is the ultimate and irreplaceable comfort.
Doesn't get better than home, now does it?
-I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter
Offering to play roles in the person's life, being welcoming and sweet.
I could be sweet and I could be sweeter
-I want to be where your heart is home
Expressing a desire to be where the person's heart feels at home.
I want to see you with the light in the morning
Expressing the desire to witness the person in the morning light, considering it a beautiful and meaningful experience.
There's never been such a beautiful warning to me, to me
-Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Reiterating the idea of enjoying each other's company without the need for specific activities, finding joy in shared moments and appreciating the person's smile.
Nothing at all for a while, I like the way you smile
