"California" Lyrics

You wanna go back to your California
You wanna go back, back to when it was great
It was long ago, your California
Yeah, it might just be lightyears away

Slightly upstream from your California
I know I'm mixed up, mixed up in space and time
There is an era, where the war's just over
And muddy waters' turned to wine

But here and now
We put out fires with our bodies
We put out fires using our bare hands
And we just can't go back to where we want to
where we need to, where we belong

You just can't go back to your California
It ceased to exist time and tide ago
You just might end up in a California
Pretty far from the one you left behind
