Liner Notes
Embark on a soulful journey of love and self-discovery with our latest release, California. Haunted by regrets of a life that could have been, the lyrics tell the story of a man in search of his former lover, whose name is California. The music starts off slow and sweet, with gentle strums of acoustic guitar, setting the scene for the heart-wrenching story about to unfold. As the music picks up pace, so too does our protagonist's determination to find his long-lost love. He imagines what life would have been like had he never left their home in California, and he begins to dream of a life where they could be together once again. So he sets off on a journey that will forever change the course of their future. He knows it won't be easy, but he's willing to do whatever it takes to make their dreams come true in the place they once called home. The lyrics are a testament to the power of love and the lengths we go to for the ones we cherish, and the music is set to match the intensity of our protagonist's emotions. Let the song transport you to another place and time, and maybe even inspire you to take a chance on love.

Lyrics
Another day goes by and I can't help thinking about our last goodbye Another year flys by and I gotta wonder why I didn't even try at all And everyday I wonder what I'd say if you called my telephone I'd wanna know that you're okay and to tell you that I might be coming home to you So meet me in the bay Where we met that day And you kissed me on the nose I'm gonna leave this scene I'm gonna chase my dreams and we'll have everything Just like when we were young and kissing in the sun and living just for fun I'm sorry that I left you all alone and on your own But I'm homeward bound now California I miss you California I miss you And I'll know I'm there when I feel the ocean air without a care at all And I see palm trees blowing in the breeze all alongside your hair I'm sorry that I left you all alone and on your own But I'm homeward bound now I'm gonna leave this scene I'm gonna chase my dreams and we'll have everything And if you don't say no and if you promise not to go then we can take it slow Homeward bound now California I miss you California I miss you Darling please don't be angry 'cause now I see you were right But I will always be lonely without you in my life I'm gonna leave this scene I'm gonna chase my dreams and we'll have everything Just like when we were young and kissing in the sun and living just for fun I'm gonna leave this scene I'm gonna chase my dreams and we'll have everything And if you don't say no and if you promise not to go then we can take it slow Homeward bound now California I miss you California I miss you California I miss you California I could kiss you California
