I′ve been dreaming about the West Coast (I've been dreaming)
Found some places that I don′t know (I've been dreaming about)
Give me the sun for just a year
I'll kiss the sky and disappear

I′ve been starin′ up at the grayest skies
Tryna find myself some luck but it's running dry
Like the weather makes the worst in my cloudy mind
I could really use a dose and some paradise
Sometimes you gotta run from my broken heart
Before I turn into a ghost, need a brand new start
Got myself headed to the coast and it ain′t that far
And they got some L.A. and some shining stars

I've been dreaming about the West Coast (I′ve been dreaming)
Found some places that I don't know (I′ve been dreaming about)
I see your signs for California
Change the shade for something warmer
I've been dreaming about the West Coast (I've been dreaming)
Where the people take you real slow (I′ve been dreaming about)
I need the sun for just a year
I′ll kiss the sky and disappear

And failed to drop now for forty days
But still, they're washin′ cars and controllin' the age
Ain′t nothing that you'd wanna cost you more than time
If you′re tryna find yourself, better get in line
I counted up my money and spendin' to get it right
Got the future in my pocket, I'm spendin′ it all a night
Like a prophet with the vision, I finally see the light
And you know

I′ve been dreaming about the West Coast (I've been dreaming)
Found some places that I don′t know (I've been dreaming about)
I see your signs for California
Change the shade for something warmer
I′ve been dreaming about the West Coast (I've been dreaming)
Where the people take you real slow (I′ve been dreaming about)
I need the sun for just a year
I'll kiss the sky and disappear

The West Coast
Follow the star in the skies
I wanna do this right (Take me)
Where the sun shines

I've been dreaming about the west coast
Time to find myself a new cloth
I need the sun for just a year
I′ll kiss the sky and disappear
I′ve been dreaming about the west coast (I've been dreaming)
Found some places that I don′t know (I've been dreaming about)
I see your signs for california
Change the shade for something warmer
I′ve been dreaming about the west coast (I've been dreaming)
Where the people take you real slow (I′ve been dreaming about)
I need the sun for just a year
I'll kiss the sky and disappear
