Don't you know baby i'm a leading man

I dig down deep when i say i love you

And i can hold my own with the best of them

I guarantee you, you will never see nothing like this again

California, i hope that it wakes you

From all of the darkness

That i couldn't break through

'cause i'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you

I'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you

Don't you know that i did the things i could

I rubbed your back when you were sleeping

But all along baby it was understood

That you were leaving, absolutely

Since the very first day we met

California, i hope that it wakes you

From all of the darkness

That i couldn't break through

'cause i'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you

I'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you

Like i miss the ocean

When i go to sleep

Man, it's gonna break my heart
