California Lyrics

High heels, no clouds
Sun kissed in cloud
Can't stop, slow down
I want you, I want you
No call, no rain
One kiss, no pain
Tell me again,
I want you, I want you

You don't wanna talk, then you wanna talk
Then you wanna tell me I'm not and to move along
Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done cause I need your love, I need your love

California, Hallelujah
You and me are gonna live for today girl
I'm the luckiest man in the whole world
Stole my heart but California
All I know is I'm with you today girl
I'm the luckiest man in the whole world

Lies you don’t keep
Hurt and I'll bleed
But you're so sweet,
And I want you, I want you

You don't wanna talk, then you wanna talk
Then you wanna tell me I'm not and to move along
Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done 'cause I need your love, I need your love

C'mon, c'mon I see it in your eyes
C'mon, c'mon just love me for one night
C'mon, c'mon I see it in your eyes
C'mon, c'mon just love me for one night

California, Hallelujah
(Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done cause I need your love, I need your love)
Stole my heart but California
(Then you wander back in my heart like a bitter song
And we're never done 'cause I need your love, I need your love)

High heels, no clouds
Sun kissed in cloud
Can't stop, slow down
I want you, I want you
No call, no rain
One kiss, no pain
Tell me again, 
I want you, I want you

Lies you don’t keep
Hurt and I'll bleed
But you're so sweet, 
And I want you, I want you

C'mon, c'mon I see it in your eyes
C'mon, c'mon just love me for one night
C'mon, c'mon I see it in your eyes
C'mon, c'mon just love me for one night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is about someone he may have taken advantage of their emotions and maybe would not commit to and she keeps wanting him but keeps trying to let go because she thinks it is best to even if it is hard. He may not have realized how much they had but she finds it hard to let go thinking he will change his mind but then something makes her see it is still the same. That first love feeling where you are drawn to each other like soulmates but one is not ready for the energy of the two when thy are together. Maybe she just feels he will be better off with someone else because she doesn't feel she can give him what he wants even though she keeps trying over and over to talk about things. Hoping it will change at some point then it is the same once again. He feels a deep love and sees it but men don't feel emotions like women what he is experiencing is the moment the visual aspect but he is not aware of her thoughts maybe he needs to truly listen deeper to her words since she is always wanting to talk but then changes her mind back and forth. Usually, a sign of one feeling like they are doing all the work but in a sense, neither one is relating to on the same level.
