West Coast Friendsh
Owl City Lyrics

Are you out there
Do you exist in a place where rainy days are frequent and you feel sad with walls closing in?

Where the rainy days begin
Is it a place where rainy days are frequent?

To feel rather sad
Do you experience a sense of sadness in that place?

And the walls are closing in
Do you feel trapped in that place?

Like the darkness around me
Does the darkness around me make it hard to leave that place?

It's so hard to look away
Is it difficult to turn your attention from the dull view of your apartment?

When the daylight doesn't ever stay
Is there never enough daylight?

Above this dull apartment view
Is the view from your apartment dull?

Oh, I will surround you
I will envelop you with my love and care.

It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
It's clear that I am unable to leave this place.

So I'll devise a plan
I'll come up with an idea to escape this place.

And cut out a door in my new living room floor
I'll make a secret door in my living room that leads to outside.

The porch light is so bright
The outside light is very bright.

That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape
I'll sneak down the rusted fire escape to get outside.

Of the rusty fire escape
The fire escape is rusty from age and/or lack of repair.

I bought a one way ticket
I purchased a plane ticket with no return ticket.

'Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
I wouldn't leave the ground unless I boarded a plane.

Unless I was aboard a jet plane
I had to board a jet plane to leave that place.

And we were going down
The plane was going down (crashing).

When I wiped the tears from my eyes
When I cleared away my tears.

The warm water took me by surprise
Warm water washed over me and surprised me.

And I woke up beside the ocean
I woke up and realized I was beside the ocean.

I realized I must be in California
I knew I arrived in California.

Aloha, my happy West Coast friends
Hello, my joyful friends on the West Coast.

Do you feel alive
Do you have a feeling of vitality?

When the breaking waves arrive
When the waves break onto the shore.

And wash all around you
And the water surrounds you.

The beach homes and ocean side
The coastal homes and the area around the ocean.

Are quite well known by the evening tide
The area is popular and well-known by the evening sea level.

And we can sleep where we reside
We can sleep where we live.

With redwoods around us
The redwood trees surround us.

The blue air is up there
The air is clear and blue.

And could I bring it down
If I could bring the air down to my level.

I'd bottle it up, and save it for a sweet summer night
I would collect the air in a bottle to save it for a warm summer night.

Am I awake or is this just a dream'
Am I really awake or is this just my mind dreaming?

The new year is out here
The new year has arrived in this place.

And I will make a lovely list
I will make a beautiful list.

Of your charms
Of everything that is wonderful about you.

So I'll never feel alone in your arms
So I never feel lonely while in your embrace.

I must be in California
I realize that I am in California.

I must be in California
I definitely am in California.

I must be in California
There is no denying that I am in California.
