California Lyrics Meanings
by Where Are We Now

Cigarettes burning
Glasses emptied
You hurt me bad
You hurtin' me bad California
Ran out of gas
Stuck at the west coast
Waitin' 'til I'm burden free
You hurt me bad
You hurtin' me bad California

Feelin' the feeling, of the wild world
Of the wild, wild world
Feelin' the feeling, of the wild world
Of the wild, wild world

Feeling the wind
Blow my mind
And thoughts of you caress my soul
You hurt me bad
You hurtin' me bad California
Ran out of cash
Stuck at her red zones
Waitin' till the lights go green
You hurt me bad
You hurtin' bad California

Feelin' the feeling, of the wild world
Of the wild, wild world
Feelin' the feeling, of the wild world
Of the wild, wild world
Feelin' the feeling, of the wild world
when it all goes away

Deep inside my mind
I'm flying so high,
You dragged me up
You dragged me down
Pushing me up
Against my flaws
My darker self
Feeling so wild, in this world

Feelin' the feeling, of the wild world
Of the wild, wild world
Feelin' the feeling, of the wild world
Of the wild, wild world
Feelin' the feeling, of the wild world
when it all goes away

Wild wild, when it all, all goes away
