Lyrics for California

On the way to California And I don't mean California literally I was thinking: It's so comforting quiet You read so softly over my head It's late but I'm maintaining interest in the things that you say I could listen to you speak all day In the silence dripping wet with Kisses running down my lips Could be just a good friend Who knows at this point anyway There's just something about the way you surrender your eyes Without this barrier of bodies, we'd already be inside Like two children at first glance We're building castles in the sand It is so delicately dreamt of This immediate intimacy On the way to California And I don't mean California literally I was thinking, I was thinking I'm not dreaming, I'm not dreaming, I'm not dreaming Not this time anyway Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo Doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo Doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo Doo doo doo, doo doo I've got a feeling buried deep down inside of me I've got a feeling buried deep down And who knows what it means to have a feeling buried so deep down? But I've never felt quite so open for love I've never felt quite so open before And maybe my imagination runs away with me You know I don't mind You know I don't mind You know I don't mind at all Oh no, at all And if you should take me I'd let you break my heart Oh no, and if you should take me I'd let you break my heart Oh, my heart Oh, my heart
