California Girl
Fabian Buch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I finish the bottle thinkin' bout you
And though it should be warmer
It's so cold in California without you
I didn't bring a jacket
And she left with my umbrella
What do I do?
And this rain is fallin down
Feelin' like a fool Feelin' like a fool
'Cause if I wanted to be cold
I would stayed on the other side of the globe
The place that I call home
Before I met you California girl
My California girl
And if I wanted to freeze to death I coulda stayed right here
I should've never left
The place that I call home
Before I met you California girl
She spent all my money
Now my heart is broken
And my wallet too
The bouncer took me outside
I said," please don't black my eye whatever you do?"
I didn't bring a jacket
And she left with my umbrella
What do I do?
And this rain is fallin down
I'm standing here
Feelin' like a fool Feelin' like a fool
'Cause if I wanted to be cold
I would stayed on the other side of the globe
The place that I call home
Before I met you California girl
My California girl
And if I wanted to freeze to death I coulda stayed right here
I should've never left
The place that I call home
Before I met you California girl
My hearts crying like
If I wanted to be cold
'Cause if I wanted to be cold
I would stayed on the other side of the globe
The place that I call home
Before I met you California girl
My California girl
And if I wanted to freeze to death I coulda stayed right here
I should've never left
The place that I call home
Before I met you California girl
Girl, girl, Girl

The lyrics to Fabian Buch's song California Girl express the singer's feelings of loneliness and heartbreak while being in California without his significant other. The lyrics begin with the singer feeling alone and drinking to cope with the absence of his lover. He expresses that he wishes it could be warmer in California, but it isn't because he is without her. He didn't bring a jacket, and she left with his umbrella, leaving him to get wet under the pouring rain. He feels foolish for being here without her and wonders what he should do.
The singer continues by expressing his regret for leaving his home and coming to California. He states that he would have been fine remaining in his original place of comfort if he wanted to be cold. The California girl he met had changed his mind and gave him a reason to leave his comfort zone, but now he regrets it. The singer expresses that the girl spent all his money, which left him heartbroken and broke. The bouncer also threw him out, leaving him in the rain without his jacket or umbrella.
The chorus repeats the idea that if the singer wanted to be cold, he would have stayed where he was before and not come to California. He regrets leaving his home and meeting the California girl, causing him to feel foolish and heartbroken.

I pleaded with the bouncer to not inflict physical harm on me
My hearts crying like
My emotions are overwhelming and difficult to handle
Girl, girl, Girl
A repeated emphasis on my love and need for the California girl
California California
An emphasis on the geographic location that holds both positive and negative memories
