"California Christmas" Lyrics

Can I be honest?
Girl, you look beautiful tonight
And by the time the fire's died, I hope I'm still alright
Can I be honest? I don't wanna spend a new year if I'm all alone
You gotta know

California Christmas, but it feel like July
Under the Hollywood sun, and not a flake in the sky
I'm observing all the different people passing me by
And I can see a different type of trees takin' 'em high
Cause out in Cali you ain't seeing no evergreens
And out here all the presents are expensive as wedding rings
If you want a presence then you better be evident
Cause family isn't there and new friends are your enemies

California Christmas and there's not a cloud in sight
Time away from you has got me feeling cold inside
All those LA girls, I know they couldn't change my mind
This won't be a holiday if I am staying far away

And I try to write my list but I couldn't get very far
How am I supposed to tell Santa I just wanna be a star?
And you can keep the presents and expensive foreign cars
After all, they're just things, they don't make us who we are
I wanna be at the top 'cause I see myself at the bottom
I wanna erase my problems, I'm leaving them back in autumn
Cause honestly I'm a mess looking for an easy fix
When I should celebrate my life and try to see it as a gift

California Christmas and there's not a cloud in sight
Time away from you has got me feeling cold inside (cold inside)
All those LA girls, I know they couldn't change my mind
This won't be a holiday if I am staying far away from you

Imma be there, Imma be there, (Imma be there)
Imma be there by morning
Imma be there, Imma be there
Be there for Christmas morning
Imma be there, Imma be there, (oh)
Imma be there by morning
Imma be there, Imma be there
Be there for Christmas morning

Can I be honest?
Girl, you look beautiful tonight
And by the time the fire's died
I hope I'm still alright
Can I be honest?
I don't wanna spend a new year
If I'm alone, you gotta know
I'm coming home

Imma be there, Imma be there
Imma be there by morning
Imma be there, Imma be there
Be there for Christmas morning (Christmas morning)
Imma be there, Imma be there
Imma be there by morning
Imma be there, Imma be there
Be there for Christmas morning

California Christmas and there's not a cloud in sight
Time away from you has got me feeling cold inside (cold inside)
All those LA girls, I know they couldn't change my mind
This won't be a holiday if I am staying far away from you
