California in my mind

Verse 1 The city’s breathing neon light, Midnight humming in my bones. Winter’s whisper in my coat, But my heart’s already gone. Radio plays a summer lie, Palm trees dancing in my head, Every mile I leave behind Pulls me closer where I’m led. Pre-Chorus Cold streets, tired faces, Every clock moves far too slow. I close my eyes and feel the heat Of a place I almost know. Chorus I’m dreaming of the west side sun, Golden days that never run. Disco skies, electric blue, I keep dancing straight to you. I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming tonight, California in my mind. Verse 2 Taxi lights like falling stars, Windows fogged with faded plans. I taste the salt of ocean air In a land I’ve never touched. Every step, a borrowed beat, Every breath, a promise made, If I follow this rhythm now, I won’t be afraid. Pre-Chorus Cold streets, tired faces, Same old lines, the same old show. But inside me something moves, Somewhere warm, somewhere slow. Chorus I’m dreaming of the west side sun, Golden days that never run. Disco skies, electric blue, I keep dancing straight to you. I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming tonight, California in my mind. Bridge Turn the night into a mirror ball, Let it spin, let it shine. If this world won’t let me in, I’ll cross it one step at a time. Final Chorus I’m dreaming of the west side sun, Where the past and future run. Every heartbreak, every sign Leads me back to that bright line. I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming tonight, California in my mind. Outro Yeah, I’m dancing on the line, California in my mind. Original lyrics by Irina.Fukui © Copyright 2025 @irinafukui
