There were still entire empires Of California highway I wanted to share with you. There were still foothills and fires, And breakdowns on the runways, I wanted to run with you. Lost stars are coming on Lost causes calling on I was second college bound, And dreaming of what could be, Wanting to move with you. Watching concrete island towns, And skyways full of palm trees And walking along with you. Lost stars are coming on Lost causes calling on Lost stars are coming on Lost causes calling on I found you like a culinary gem In a stucco-pink strip mall, I found you as the curtain's coming Down on a melancholy romcom. I found you in California.
