Hey California! Songtext
von A Great Big World

Ooh
Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya
Ooh
Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya

Where is my mind?
Don′t want to get out of bed
Stuck in the grime
Don't want to work ′til I'm dead
Wish I had time
To get away for the weekend

I feel so stuck
There isn't room here to breathe
My neighbors suck
I miss the grass and the trees
Need to unwind
Before I fall off the deep end


I want it, I need it
Can′t wait another day
I throw my toothpaste in my suitcase Uber
Straight to JFK

I say, "Hey California
I wanna lay out in your sunshine"
I say, "Hey California
I wanna make you mine"

Ooh
Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya

Pretty girls running ′round in the sand
Pretty boys, blonde and hairless and tan
I wanna be young and free
Making out in the ocean

I want it, I need it
Oh God, I love L.A.
I see you vegans in your yoga pants
Good morning, namaste

I say, "Hey California
I want to soak up all your good vibes" (ooh-ooh-ooh, la-la-la)
I say, "Hey California
You make me feel alive" (ooh-ooh-ooh, la-la-la)


Oh, oh, I say, "Hey California
I wanna lay out in your sunshine" (ooh-ooh-ooh, la-la-la)
Hey, hey, I say, "Hey California
I wanna make you mine" (ooh-ooh-ooh, la-la-la)

I want it, I need it
Can't wait another day
Let′s go cruising up the 101, the San Francisco Bay
Hang out with hippies and techies
Drink some fancy Cabernet
Take a selfie on the Golden Gate
And scream "I love CA"

Hey California
I say, "Hey California"

"Hey California
I wanna soak up all your good vibes" (hey California)
I say, "Hey California
You make me feel alive" (hey California)

I say "Hey California"
I want to lay out in your sunshine (California)
Hey, hey, I say "Hey California
I wanna make you mine" (hey California)

Oh, hey California (ooh-ooh-ooh, la-la-la)
I say, "Hey California" (ooh-ooh-ooh, la-la-la)
Oh, I say, "Hey California" (ooh-ooh-ooh, la-la-la)
I say, "Hey California" (ooh-ooh-ooh, la-la-la)

Ooh
Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, ya-ya
