Hem - Not California lyrics

(Dan Messe/Gary Maurer)

Who's the girl inside of the blue-screen light

The sun is just pouring out

And everything is out of sight

Turn around the room is just black and white

She's whispering

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

And it's not true

And it's not fair

And it's not you

And it's not California here

Later on you're breaking the boxes down

There's nobody out tonight

Nobody's hanging 'round

So you take the drive

That used to be almost right

And now it's just empty lots around you

All these empty lots around you

And they don't know

What you won't dear

And they can't see

That it's not California here

Come a time when I may just walk away

The sun is just barely out

The sky is completely grey

But you're the one I want to be with today

Let them say

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

And I'm not strong

And you're not rich

And we're not lost

Where we don't live

And it's not true

And it's not fair

And they're not us

And it's not California here

I'm the one who wants to be with you tonight

And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight

And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight
