Lyrics Home in California - Brian Vaughn

About the time I'm getting home from work in California
You're laying down my nephew in a bed back in Virginia
Distance is a funny thing
I feel the miles a little more today

The cold sets in back home around this time of year
Bath tubs offer comfort for our bones
And winter decorations, from the boxes to the table
Tell a story of the years that come and go

Oh...
Home in California, here I go

Cool without being cold
A room that never really feels like home
I guess it's only obvious and hindsight shows it best
The price you pay for striking out alone

Oh...
Off to California

Sing it out, from heart to sound
These thin walls and that empty couch- things that I'm finding out
Sing aloud, feel the sound
The rooftops of apartments downtown are all too close together but so far away

Seaside and the 101
Redwoods and the California sun
Beautiful reminders to let it go
To stop and smile once and a while
All in all there's nothing wrong
I just have a tendency to over analyze
It's natural to question and to second guess
And it's hard not to romanticize, here in California

Sing it out, from heart to sound
No matter where you go you leave parts of yourself is something that I'm finding out
Sing aloud, feel the sound
The thin walls in apartments downtown don't bring anyone together

Oh, I'll tell
Out here in the El Dorado state
There's a tremor I just felt
From within myself
An echo from far away
