well i flew in on the plane yesterday
nose pressed to the glass i watched us come into the bay
and then i asked myself why i left this place
seeking solace in a change and now it`s changed my face
i know they`ll say there`s something to be said for trying out new things
but i know i say there`s something i`ve been missing here along the way
oh, yea
there`s something bout coming home to california
theres something about coming home
it`s so hot outside that i could fry an egg
but i`m eating taco bell and getting high instead
with my eyes spread wide i smoke a cigarette
watch the sun roll by with nothing in my head
and i know they`ll say there`s something to be said for curiosity
but i know i say i`ll save my west coast dreaming for some other day
oh, yea
there`s something bout coming home to california
theres something about coming home
there`s something in the way we move
something in the daily news
there`s something in the air i breathe
and something in the way i see
there`s something in these orange walls
the southern california fall
there`s something in the clothes she wears
and something in the way she stares at you
