And I've been spending too much time in California
Expressing the speaker's excessive time spent in California, suggesting a sense of detachment or disconnection.
Where your feelings change but seasons never do
Highlighting the emotional instability of relationships in California, despite the constant climate.
And in my dream last night I felt a storm was coming
Describing a dream where a storm is anticipated, possibly reflecting inner turmoil or challenges.
But awoke to sunny skies of baby blue
Contrasting the dream with a pleasant reality of sunny skies, hinting at hope or optimism.
And I call her up to let her go today
Announcing the speaker's decision to end the relationship, acknowledging the difficulty.
For a moment thought it easier then being away
Admitting that ending the relationship seemed momentarily easier than being apart.
But through the tangled thread the needle finds a way

And I'm asking her to stay

And I've been spending all my time composing letters
Indicating the speaker's efforts to communicate through letters with someone far away.
To a girl who lives a thousand miles away

But writing never takes the place of living
Expressing the speaker's need for physical closeness, the warmth of arms, and the joy of a smile.
And I need her arms, I need her smile again
And she called me up to let me go today
