California
The Band CAMINO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything I saw when I was still a boy in school
I was still a boy in school
Sometimes I feel like I've gone insane,
'Cause I can′t change my mind,
But I can′t stay the same
Except you
I can't help but dream about your song
Your voice in my head makes me feel numb
You say:
I′m at home, I'm waiting on ya
Drove all the way from California
I′m at home, I'm waiting on ya
I knew I couldn′t live without ya
I'm at home, I'm waiting on ya
Drove all the way from California
I′m at home, I′m waiting on ya
I knew I couldn't live without ya
Some other people, won′t make a sound
So many people looking for something to do
We're all looking for something to do
I feel annoying most of the time, but I keep on talking
Just to keep my mind off you
Just to keep my mind off you
I can′t help but dream about your song
Your voice in my head makes me feel numb
You say:
I'm at home, I′m waiting on ya
Drove all the way from California
I'm at home, I'm waiting on ya
I knew I couldn′t live without ya
I′m at home, I'm waiting on ya
Drove all the way from California
I′m at home, I'm waiting on ya
I knew I couldn′t live without ya
I'm at home, I′m waiting
I'm at home, I'm waiting on ya
I′m at home, I′m waiting
I'm at home, I′m waiting on ya
I'm at home, I′m waiting
I'm at home, I′m waiting on ya
I'm at home, I'm waiting
I′m at home, I′m waiting on ya
I'm at home, I′m waiting
I'm at home, I′m waiting on ya
I'm at home, I′m waiting
I'm at home, I'm waiting on ya
I′m at home, I′m waiting
I'm at home, I′m waiting on ya
I'm at home, I′m waiting
I'm at home, I′m waiting on ya
The Band CAMINO's song California is a beautiful ballad about longing that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever missed someone. The lyrics are poignant and honest, reflecting the raw emotions that come with longing for someone. The singer admits that he keeps his mouth shut because he couldn't tell the person he's missing everything he saw when he was still a boy in school. It's as if he's still holding onto that youthful love that has never left him.
The song is a perfect example of how we can feel crazy when we're torn between the need to change and the desire to stay the same. The singer knows he can't change his mind, yet he can't stay the same either. Except for her. He still feels the same about her, and he can't help but dream about her song, and her voice in his head makes him feel numb. She says she's waiting on him, and she drove all the way from California to be with him. He knew he couldn't live without her, and he's waiting for her, just like she's waiting for him.

Keepin' my mouth shut, 'cause I couldn't tell you
I can't express the things I saw when I was young
Everything I saw when I was still a boy in school
These things happened when I was a kid
Sometimes I feel like I've gone insane
I feel crazy sometimes
'Cause I can't change my mind, but I can't stay the same
I'm stuck in a difficult situation
Except you
I still love you
I still feel the same about you
My feelings for you haven't changed
I can't help but dream about your song
I think about you constantly
Your voice in my head makes me feel numb
You have a strong effect on me
I'm at home, I'm waiting on ya
I'm waiting for you to come to me
Drove all the way from California
I went to great lengths to be with you
I knew I couldn't live without ya
I need you in my life
Some other people, won't make a sound
People around me are quiet
So many people looking for something to do
Everyone is searching for something
We're all looking for something to do
Life can feel empty
I feel annoying most of the time, but I keep on talking
I try to keep my mind occupied
Just to keep my mind off you
I don't want to think about you all the time

One of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Just amazing.
@derektrammell911
I know I shouldn't be comparing bands and songs, but this reminds me in such a wonderful way of The 1975 - "Milk". Such a feeling of freedom.
@chefcuhdon33
I feel that. It’s like their version of what milk is for the 1975. A little different than everything else, not quite as catchy, but also just gives you a type of feel like you’re on the open road.
@derektrammell911
@@chefcuhdon33 You're completely on the money. Cheers, my friend 👌
@allisonbuckless1726
Just saw you at the House of Blues last night. I heard of you before the concert. I’ll never forget the feeling I had during this song. Thank you thank you. Keep it going.
