Best Coast – California Nights Lyrics

I stay high all the time
Just to get by
I climb into the sky
And my eyes they cry¹

California nights
Make me feel so happy
I could die
But I try to stay high²

I never wanted this
So high that I can’t come back down
To real life
And look you in the eyes and say
Baby if you’re mine³

Fading back and forth⁴
I fly through my mind
I fade the way I’ve known
But have I really gone⁵

California nights
Make me feel so happy
I could die
But I try to stay high

I never wanted this so high
That I can’t come back down
To real life
And look you in the eyes and say
Baby if you’re mine

I never wanted this so high
That I can’t come back down
To real life
And look you in the eyes and say
Baby, oh baby if you’re mine⁶
