California
Lorde Song Lyrics

Once upon a time in hollywood when carole called my name

I stood up, the room exploded and I knew that's it, I'll never be the same

That's when a door swung open and a voice said, 'we're glad you came'

Now I've spent thousands on you darling, all the hotels and the jets

And I'd pay it all again to have your golden body back in my bed

But I don't miss the poison arrows aimed directly at my head.

Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models, bye to the clouds in the skies that all hold no rain-

(Don't want that california love)

(Don't want that california love)

(Don't want that california love)

Once upon a time the canyon store was where my world began

All that mystery and beauty gleaned from desert flowers and gifted children

But it got hard to grow up with your cool hand around my neck

Now in my hometown, we're sunbathing

My girlfriends, and my baby

But every time I smell tequila, the garden grows up in my mind again.

Goodbye to all the bottles, all the models, bye to the kids in the lines for the new supreme-

(Don't want that california love)

(Don't want that california love)

(Don't want that california love)

(Don't want that california love)

(Don't want that california love)

(Don't want that california love)

It's just a dream

It's just a dream

It's all just a dream

I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up.
