California Dreamin'
Sarah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A
I stopped into a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretended to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold, he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
(I'd be safe and warm)
(I'd be safe and warm)
(I'd be safe and warm)
(I'd be safe and warm)
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't go, I could leave today
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
Oh such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
The lyrics to Sarah's song "California Dreamin'" depict a longing and yearning to escape the dreariness of winter and escape to the warmth and sunshine of California.

The line "I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A" indicates that not only does the singer long for the sunshine and warmth, but also the safety and comfort that comes with it.
The second verse provides additional depth to the singer's longing, as they seek refuge in a church and pretend to pray. This indicates a level of desperation and hopelessness, as though the singer is willing to try any means necessary to escape their current situation. The preacher's fondness of the cold provides a sharp contrast to the singer's desire for warmth, further highlighting the stark difference between their current surroundings and their dream of California.
Overall, the song captures the theme of escape and longing for a better life, specifically through the romanticized idea of California as a paradise. The repetition of the chorus drives this theme home, emphasizing the powerful pull of this dream.
