I got a cottage with a sea view


I got a regular summer tan

I've been working up the courage to call you all year, ohhh


There is nothing I can say


There are no good words left anyway

Besides people are cruel


And the world still moves without you, ohhh




Welcome to my Californian home


You don't have to call me you can leave when you want


There's a picture by my bed

There's a light in your eyes


I don't know


Well I don't know

Why you still feel alone





And we were dying from the get go

I was dreaming but you never believed


I was trying to fit myself in the spaces between, ohhh


And you were kind and sometimes cruel

You said all the world's love couldn't satisfy you


And nothing could have hurt me as much as the truth


Ohhh darling




Welcome to my Californian home


You don't have to call me you can leave when you want

There's a picture by my bed


There's a light in your eyes


I don't know

Tell me 'cause I want to find out


Do you still feel alone?




Love is elusive when you search for it


Don't I know


Happiness sometimes it just creeps in

Don't I know


I'm going crazy


I've been wondering

Do you still feel alone?




I need to find

Some kind of peace of mind


I need to find



I got a cottage with a sea view


I got a regular summer tan

I know that I deserve more


But I still want you



Welcome to my Californian home


You don't have to call me you can leave when you want

There's a picture by my bed

There's a light in your eyes

I don't know


Tell me 'cause I want to find out

Do you still feel?




Welcome to my California

(I need to find)

Even though I'm no good for you

(Some kind of peace of mind)


There's a part of me still waiting for you

(I need to find)

Welcome to my happy ending


(I need to find)

Even though it's fun contending

(Some kind of peace of mind)

I know


I know you can't look back, you can never go back



Welcome to my Californian home

You can never go back

Welcome to my Californian home

I know

You can never go back

Welcome to my Californian home

I know

You can never go back

I know I need to find, do you still feel?



Welcome to my Californian home

(I need to find)

Even though I'm no good for you

(Some kind of peace of mind)

Deep inside there's a piece of me, there's a piece of me

Still waiting for you to come home

Welcome to my Californian home

(I need to find)

I know you can never look back, you can never look back again

(Some kind of peace of mind)

But tell me 'cause I want to find out

Do you still feel alone?

Oh nooo

Do you still feel alone?

Oh nooo
