California Songtext
von The Weekend

I met him on my birthday
He was a present to me from the stars
They all sang, "Happy Birthday, girl"
Then they tore my world apart
They put me on the east side
And I left him in LA
And the distance between us
And we broke up yesterday

But if I cry myself a river
I can swim back to my sweet California

Oh, give me a C-A-L-I
I never knew I could feel like that
F-O-R-N
Anyone can tell you that I′ve got it bad
I ain't, I ain′t, I ain't goin' down this way
I′m gonna cry myself a river
So I can swim back to my sweet California


They tell me I cry too much
That I could fill every bathroom sink
In this city I got stuck in
With its tragic symphonies
They warned me not to get attached
But they got to me way too late
′Cause I'm thinkin′ of him constantly
Every moment I'm awake

But if I cry myself a river
I can swim back to my sweet California

Oh, give me a C-A-L-I
I never knew I could feel like that
F-O-R-N
Anyone can tell you that I′ve got it bad
I ain't, I ain′t, I ain't goin' down this way
I′m gonna cry myself a river
Then I can swim back to my sweet California

Cold water, bring me back to my senses
Cold water, let me drown in him
Cold water, bring me back to my senses
Cold water, bring me back to him


Oh, give me a C-A-L-I
I never knew I could feel like that
F-O-R-N
Anyone can tell you that I′ve got it bad
I ain't, I ain′t, I ain't goin′ down this way
I'm gonna cry myself a river
So I can swim back to my sweet California
