California
Radical Something Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do I get out of here?
Back to where I belong
California, California, baby I'm coming home

I need some fun vibes and a couple drops of sunshine
Good enough pick and choose the always over sometimes
Pour a little out we like to live a lot
And I make better decisions when I'm hot
We're chasing dreams from our seats at the hang out spot
No plan for the night, but we all stay locked
Right in, nice grin, uh uhhh no thunder or lightning
Just the view of the ocean and a sexy ass light skin girl
I'm goin back, I'm goin back
And I'm headed for my paradise, my paradise
Where I can sit and right songs, eat a little food and we can share our lives
California got me thinking I should really take it easy
Out back with my crew and some girls if you need me
So when I say welcome home and you ask what do I mean
I mean you visit and you never wanna leave Come find me

How do I get out of here?
Back to where I belong
California, California, baby I'm coming home

Oh yeah
So sweet, so sweet Californ-I-a
Where the fruits all fall from my family tree
I need my skateboard a drink and a long stretch of pavement
Pickin up my pace and I'm back to the basics
Yeah, travel well on my element, gone for a second and
Every time I leave you know I'm always second guessing it
Thinking ill regret it but you know I'm comin back in the end and I've accepted it
I'm feeling feeling all feeling all feeling all feeling all golden
We're skatin on the sidewalk
And you can hear us all hear us all hear us all rollin
It's so damn hot outside
And missed flights are the only things that stoppin me
From tryin to kick it tropically
Cuz out here we don't just own the sun
Us California kids got a monopoly
Lets go, come on

How do I get out of here?
Back to where I belong
California, California, baby I'm coming home

I'm coming home I'm coming home
Cuz I been gone for way too long
I'm coming home I'm coming home
Cuz I been gone for way too long

And these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls
Are all just so damn fine
And these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls
Runnin through my mind
And these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls
Are all just so damn fine




And these Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls Cali girls
Runnin thru my mind
