After the Hiatus

Here's me again after a hiatus.

I decided to write a song that I felt described being apart from something for a long time. I know there are billions of love ballads out there, but I feel like adding my 2 cents worth.

So here's to California Dreaming :)

I’ve been running around for far too long

Trying to catch a breath of fresh air

But I guess I know now that I don’t belong

In this smoke and mirrors fair

I’ve been chasing a dream in my heart of hearts

Trying to pin a moonbeam down

But I guess I know now where home is

Not in this crazy, self-assured town

To tell you the truth I’m still hanging on

I know you want me to move, but I can’t go on

Chorus:

I’m still California dreaming

Cos time’s just never enough

I’m still waiting crying bleeding

Because I still believe in love

I’m still California dreaming

Of a place I called my home

I’m alive but barely breathing

In love with a boy who I used to know

I’m still California dreaming

Waiting on a boy who might never know

Maybe he’ll forget all about me

Maybe that’s the way our story goes

I’ve been stuck in hell for far too long

But I guess I know now I still got my pride

You were next to me, haunting me all along

Mourning the day the music died           

I want to remember being not afraid

How we threw the doubters out

How we became heroes for the rest our days

How I saw courage in your face

To tell you the truth I’m still hanging on

I know you want me to move, but I can’t go on

Chorus x1

I’m still California wishing

That I’ll stay in your warm heart

I hope you’ll find what you wanted

What you want is in my arms

I’m still California Dreaming

Of how we built a world with our dreams

Maybe I’ll find that place again somday

And I’ll know who I want to be

Will I find that perfection again?

Will these dreams live on someday?

All I can do is cry and wait

May we last forever, let it be Fate

I’ve been keeping my head above the water

Figuring out what’s the truth

But I want you to know I’ll wait until
I can see another sunrise with you

Someday I will tell my children about you

A band rebels who conquered their fears

How we fought darkness side by side

Exchanging hope in place of tears

I’m still California dreaming

Of a place I called my home

I’m alive but barely breathing

In love with a boy I used to know

I’m still California dreaming

Waiting on a boy who might never know

Maybe he’ll forget all about me

Maybe that’s the way our story goes

I’m still California wishing

That I’ll stay in your warm heart

I hope you’ll find what you wanted

What you want is in my arms

I’m still California believing

we built a world with our own dreams

Maybe I’ll find that place again someday

And I’ll know who I want to be

I’m still California dreaming

I see a fate that’s just  me and you

Maybe you’ll join me again in a fairytale

Maybe my dreams will come true
