Cold in California - Ashe

Just out of reach is the gold you’re rushing for

With bags under your eyes

I’ve been chasing a rainbow, wound up at your door

Wanna see the other side

It’s not quite like I imagined, like I did before

When you’re pouring all your heart out

But you’re lying on the floor

All the cigarettes and hotels

Could be what you’re looking for

But it’s not what you expected

And you’re left wanting more

Don’t mind what anybody told ya

It still gets cold in California

See, everybody thinks they know ya

They’re only seeing what they wanna

Oh, don’t mind what anybody told ya

It still gets cold in California

We can dance in the streets

With the sun upon our skin

And wake up feeling burned

Under stars, we can freeze

'Cause we’ve gotten used to heat

Where seasons never turn

It’s not quite like I imagined, like I did before

When you’re pouring all your heart out

But you’re lying on the floor

All the finer things and fast cards

Could be what you’re looking for

But it’s not what you expected

And you’re left wanting more

Don’t mind what anybody told ya

It still gets cold in California

See, everybody thinks they know ya

They’re only seeing what they wanna

Oh, don’t mind what anybody told ya

It still gets cold in California

Talk about the pretty parts, the ones you see on film

Happiness and skinny legs and living on a hill

Don’t talk about the ugly parts, the loneliness you feel

You probably always will

'Cause it gets dark in California

I know it well, better than most, yeah

Don’t mind what anybody told ya

It still gets cold in California

See, everybody thinks they know ya

They’re only seeing what they wanna

Oh, don’t mind what anybody told ya

It still gets cold in California
