about

Back to California is my perception of a spark that’s
fading and the feelings that come along with that.
“California” is a metaphor for a perfect place, whereas “Watching the seasons change” is a metaphor for that spark fading to a mere memory. -GB

lyrics

I see the summer passing by / and all our dreams of being forever / are fading memories / why does it have to be this way? / why can’t you be the one that stays today?

YOU’LL LEAVE LIKE THE ONES BEFORE YOU / YOU’LL LEAVE
OUR LOVE ASHORE / AS YOU SAIL ACROSS THE OCEAN / BACK TO CALIFORNIA / YOU’LL WASH OUR MEMORIES AWAY / AS I WATCH THE SEASONS CHANGE

It’s growing colder / I’m dwelling on the nights we shared / it’s a love we said would never end / the nights we spent all alone / and now we’re falling like the leafs / as we drift farther now / will you come back to me? / No

YOU’LL LEAVE LIKE THE ONES BEFORE YOU / YOU’LL LEAVE
OUR LOVE ASHORE / AS YOU SAIL ACROSS THE OCEAN / BACK TO CALIFORNIA / YOU’LL WASH OUR MEMORIES AWAY / AS I WATCH THE SEASONS CHANGE
