And it felt like walking on water
But the rush is gone, I stand all alone
Eclipsed by others, greater
Now the season’s changed, I’m in the dark
And I think I’m taking on water
Screaming, “I’m still here,” but no one hears
Am I just a passing phase? I wonder
But then your voice
So strong and sweet
Echoes back to me
You take my hand
And by your side
I finally feel seen
Just a California girl
With gold in her eyes
And a hopeful boy
Under indigo skies
That cold fall night we lay in the sand
Do you know how that moment changed me?
Talking, laughing, kissing until dawn
Your conviction helped me break free
And now your voice
So strong and sweet
Resonates inside me
With your hand in mine
I’m flying high
Don’t need to feel seen
Just a California girl
With gold in her eyes
And a hopeful boy
