Now it's getting so_ I'm mad_ when someone_ says your name_ 'Cause I've had to say_ good-bye_ to friends_ who couldn't stay away_ And sometimes_ it felt so wro_-ng_ to never_ want_ to lean on_ you-ou_ You may stand_ tall_ but I've got_ two feet__-e-eet_ too_ Now they talk of you_ in bars_ around_ a quiet beer__ Tell their tales_ of mind-gone stones_ where no_ one else_ can hear_ And later_ on_ out_-side_ they say they're_ getting on a pla-ane__ To fly away_ leaving_ you__ again__ Califo-or_-nia_ my friends all_ call you home__ And if you take_ away_ another_ I'll be that much_ more_ alone_ Is it_ my fault_ that my kind_ are always_ drawn_ toward the su-un_ Like a child_ to home_ whenever_ dark_-ness__ comes__ Now in a few more_ years_ I won't_ remem-_ber what it was_ to play_-ay-ay-ay_ The music of old_ friends_ who need_ to live so_ far-ar_ away_ But can I_ once taste_ Northern waters_ then_ forsake them_ for the South_ To feel_ Califor_-nia's ashes_ in_ my mouth___ Califo-or_-nia_ my friends all_ call you home__ And if you take_ away_ another_ I'll be that much_ more_ alone_ Is it_ my fault_ that my kind_ are always_ drawn_ toward the sun_ Like a child_ to home_ whenever_ dark_-ness_ comes_ Oh Califo-or_-nia_ my friends all_ call you home__ And if you take_ away_ another_ I'll be that much_ more_ alone_ Is it_ my fault_ that my kind_ are always_ drawn_ toward the sun_ Like a child_ to home_ whenever_ dark_-ness__ comes__ Like a child_ to home_ whenever_ dark_-ness___ comes___

Cette chanson évoque la peine de la séparation et la nostalgie que l'on ressent face aux amis qui s'éloignent. L’auteur exprime son mal-être face à cette réalité, évoquant un besoin profond de connexion et d'attachement à ceux qu'il a perdus. Il se sent tiraillé entre l'appel du soleil et la douleur de l'éloignement, se comparant à un enfant cherchant refuge chez lui lorsque les temps sombres se présentent. Le contexte est celui d'un départ, d'une quête d'identité et de réconfort, où chaque adieu laisse une empreinte significative. La richesse des souvenirs partagés contraste avec la solitude grandissante, illustrant ainsi la lutte entre l'envie de se libérer et le besoin de se souvenir.
