I remember when time moved slow
Caution was thrown, caution was thrown out the window
We had more than just the weekend
And our parents reminded the most??
It was you and I wide-eyed
Nothing but open road
Terrified
Of the future we didn't know
And I promised when we get back to the golden state
We're both broke and you're far away
So I'll say
I'm trying to get back to California
Trying to get back to when I called ya
You'd answer every time
You'd answer every time
I'm trying to get back to when we were younger
Trying to get back to when we were young
Still young and we got time
Still young and we got time
Growing up is getting old
Forcing myself, forcing myself to be a little bold
I thought forever meant forever
But eventually
It all goes up in smoke
It was you and I wide-eyed
Nothing but open road
Terrified
Of the future we didn't know
And I promised when we get back to the golden state
We're both broke and you're far away
So I'll say
I'm trying to get back to California
Trying to get back to when I'd call ya
You'd answer every time
You'd answer every time
I'm trying to get back to when we were younger
Trying to get back to when we were young
Still young and we got time
Still young and we got time
Gone are the days where I could walk to your door
Gone in a haze of nostalgia grand jour
You don't know what you go until it no longer keeps you warm
And I miss every thing and every thing and every thing
I miss-
California spring break
And that look on your face when you met your love
And the way you wish we spoke
And late nights
Taco Bell runs
Double it
We all thought that we were the exception
Growing old
I miss every thing and every thing and every thing
I miss every thing and every thing and every thing
I miss every thing and every thing and every thing and every thing
I'm just trying to get back to California
Trying to get back to when I'd call ya
You'd answer every time
You'd answer every time
Trying to get back to when we were younger
Trying to get back to when we were young
Still young and we got time
Still young and we got time
Still young and we got time
Still young
