california Lyrics
If I strum chords, would you sing a song with me
If I leave town would you leave along with me
We can fly away to outer space
We can find a way to leave this place
We don’t need a map and you can throw your phone away
We don’t wanna hear the things we know they’re gonna say
You don’t trust yourself but girl trust in me
Don’t look in the mirror the past you don’t wanna see
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
If we leave our friends then we can be together
We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
Hynotized by the carbon monoxide
Would turning back be a good idea
Your cigarette after cigarette
Cannot help to calm your fear
But I’m still driving
Just keep sleeping
We’ll keep moving
But I’m not leaving no I’m not leaving
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
If I leave town would you leave along with me
We can fly away to outer space
We can find a way to leave this place
We don’t wanna hear the things we know they’re gonna say
You don’t trust yourself but girl trust in me
Don’t look in the mirror the past you don’t wanna see
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
We can leave this town if only for the weather
I could drive and you could sleep
While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
Would turning back be a good idea
Your cigarette after cigarette
Cannot help to calm your fear
Just keep sleeping
We’ll keep moving
But I’m not leaving no I’m not leaving
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California
If we drive all night we can make it by the morning
And no one has to know if we decide to go
What do you say we leave for California

I think this song is about a couple who joke about going on a road trip to California, but then something changes and they actually go! They make it out of their town and get scared, turn around & go home...
:] awesome.
I cant believe theres only two comments. I love metro station. I wish they had seventeen forever lyrics.
As for meaning being young and reckless and just wanting to leave it all and start new and in love in california

i love how he talks to her. i think it is about the reckless couple. "while the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats" is one of my favorite lines ever.
This song is amazing. two people are sick of their town and just want to get out. they want to be together so they decide to go to cali...nice choice=] the lyric.. "While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats" is definently one of my favorites.
"Hynotized by the carbon monoxide Would turning back be a good idea Your cigarette after cigarette Cannot help to calm your fear" i love that line.
yeah its clearly about two people "HAVE" to run away together to be together
if we leave our friends then we can be together We can leave this town if only for the weather I could drive and you could sleep While the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats
See.....and then THEY can be together ......
I like this song allot people always seem to want to get in the middle of my relationships and I just stumbled on it and was like what especially for like 3 months now Ive been jokin on running away to Cali .....so this song rocks for me right now :~)
it's "now i'm still driving" and the second time they sing the refrain it's repeated a second time on their new album.
this so is the cutest thing ever i think it pretty much isnt very deep but the electronic feel and the cute lyrics make it enjoyable =]
i love metro station
