lyrics
You passed over youth
And I wanted to redo it
But all things said, our time was spent
On moving out
When we went out on weekends
Sometimes weren’t even friends
But all along, we were at home
And all things said, we take the long way
We take the highway in the morning and
Let’s capture California
Let’s take it home with us
I’ll take it back to Boston
And you take it wherever you like
Let’s capture California
Let’s collect the reckless
Make ways to keep those days around
And I think I know how
I watched your lows
Doesn’t take the good things out
We’re losers and it doesn’t have to hurt, it doesn’t have to hurt anymore
I’m tired of, I’m tired of this misdirection and I’m tired of my
Perceptions being off the inflection was wrong, let’s talk about home
And I parked my station wagon
Down by the sand, the sky took years to make and
Let’s capture California
Let’s take it home with us
I’ll take it back to Boston
And you take it wherever you like
Let’s capture California
Let’s collect the reckless
Make ways to keep those days around
And I think I know how
No time to make amends
But I got time for my old friends,
We settle down, we get louder
We talk a masquerade
Down to earth but we behave like animals
And it’s high time
Let’s capture California
Let’s take it home with us
I’ll take it back to Boston
And you take it wherever you like
Let’s capture California
Let’s collect the reckless
Make ways to keep those days around
And I think I know how
And I wanted to redo it
But all things said, our time was spent
On moving out
When we went out on weekends
Sometimes weren’t even friends
But all along, we were at home
And all things said, we take the long way
We take the highway in the morning and
Let’s capture California
Let’s take it home with us
I’ll take it back to Boston
And you take it wherever you like
Let’s capture California
Let’s collect the reckless
Make ways to keep those days around
And I think I know how
I watched your lows
Doesn’t take the good things out
We’re losers and it doesn’t have to hurt, it doesn’t have to hurt anymore
I’m tired of, I’m tired of this misdirection and I’m tired of my
Perceptions being off the inflection was wrong, let’s talk about home
And I parked my station wagon
Down by the sand, the sky took years to make and
Let’s capture California
Let’s take it home with us
I’ll take it back to Boston
And you take it wherever you like
Let’s capture California
Let’s collect the reckless
Make ways to keep those days around
And I think I know how
No time to make amends
But I got time for my old friends,
We settle down, we get louder
We talk a masquerade
Down to earth but we behave like animals
And it’s high time
Let’s capture California
Let’s take it home with us
I’ll take it back to Boston
And you take it wherever you like
Let’s capture California
Let’s collect the reckless
Make ways to keep those days around
And I think I know how
