Lyrics No California - Ilsey

We used to drive to the ocean, lie by the waves
Bathe in the moment, now I'm alone
I pray for rain to come
Take me away, mm

Away from the hills full of promise, streets full of pain
Even in winter, bright sunny days
I pray for rain to come
Oh, but it never does

I gotta get outta here, start a whole new life
Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright
Everything around here, everything 'bout this place
Just brings me down, ooh

'Cause there ain't no California without you
Without you, yeah, there ain't no California
Yeah, there ain't no California without you
Without you, yeah, there ain't no California, ooh

It's cold in your shadow, all that remains
Ghosts in the desert, should I run away
Or pray for strength to come?
I'll run away (away), mm

I gotta get outta here, start a whole new life
Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright
Everything around here, everything 'bout this place
Just brings me down, ooh

'Cause there ain't no California without you
Without you, yeah, there ain't no California
Yeah, there ain't no California without you
Without you, yeah, there ain't no California, ooh

I'll keep runnin', baby, I'll keep runnin'
'Til you stop runnin' through my mind
And I'll keep lovin' you, I'll keep lovin' you
I don't really know why, I know that I

Gotta get outta here, start a whole new life
Gotta go somewhere where the sun don't shine so bright
Everything around here, everything 'bout this place
Just brings me down, ooh

'Cause there ain't no California without you
Without you, yeah, there ain't no California
Yeah, there ain't no California without you
Without you, yeah, there ain't no California, ooh

I'll keep runnin', baby, I'll keep runnin'
'Til you stop runnin' through my mind
