lyrics

i dream about that californian sun / while watching all the cars roll by out on route 1 / while my boss just grins and says, "you know, there's much work to be done" / while i dream about that californian sun /

you're the only girl i know that's worth the wait / while my friends all gather round and try to set me straight / but it takes all i have in me not to jump on the interstate / cause you're the only girl i know that's worth the wait

if the earth still shakes / and the storm won't break / and your heart feels like a canyon / i'll try to give it every ounce that it takes / even though i ain't a man yet

sometimes i think i'll catch a flight next sunday / before i stop to wonder where i'll get that kind of money / but there's nothing more american than a dream that just ain't coming / so i still think i'll catch a flight next sunday

you told me that you feel all alone / i tell you that i feel the same through my dead, cracked phone / so is it worse to feel that way when you're three thousand miles from home / or to be right there and still feel all alone

if the earth still shakes / and the storm won't break / and your heart feels like a canyon / i'll try to give it every ounce that it takes / even though i ain't a man yet

my friend said if it's really meant to be / it'll happen when the time is right, that's destiny / but what if the time is never right and life slides by so carelessly / and you're just the one that got away from me

i guess that i would rather try and fail / than wonder about our ship that never quite set sail / so put that white flag away, and don't you run and turn your tail / cause for you, girl, i'd rather try and fail

if the earth still shakes / and the storm won't break / and your heart feels like a canyon / i'll try to give it every ounce that it takes / even though i ain't a man yet

i'll try to give it every ounce that it takes / even though i ain't a man yet
