I found this corner in my mind
A homage to youth and days gone by
Those memories got left behind
Now have a purpose and a life

Maybe we could leave
No more apologies

We're just lovers on the run
California here we come (California, California)
Just when I thought those days had gone
Still wishing we were young
Young

Emotions tested and refined
As we stare at snapshots of our lives
We sat beside the waters edge
The smugglers cave above our heads

Maybe we could leave
No more apologies

We're just lovers on the run
California here we come (California, California)
Just when I thought those days had gone
Still wishing we were young
We were young

We're just lovers on the run
California here we come

When I see your face
The future that awaits
Another city rising from the dust
Neon lights the way
Way

We're just lovers on the run
California here we come (California, California)
Just when I thought those days had gone
Still wishing we were young
We were young

We're just lovers on the run
California here we come (California, California)
Just when I thought those days had gone
I thought the love had gone
Gone

(California, California)
