This song is essentially about escaping. It's about daydreaming out of your window on a drape Monday morning and wishing you was someplace else.
lyrics
I want to live in California
But I'm stuck on this Island with yah
All the fruits of my labour
Going down the drain
And I wonder why I bother
Daydreaming of another
When you one in the oven
I can't complain
Give me Beach Boys
Playing on the juke box
Teen Wolf surfing on the roof tops
CJ wont you throw me a life line please
I want to live in California
I am sick of this cold weather
Wanna feel the warm sun
Carmel by the sea
So lets pack up and get ready
Start a new life with me baby
Santa Barbra, Santa Cruz, San Francisco Bay
Give me Beach Boys
Playing on the juke box
Teen Wolf surfing on the roof tops
CJ wont you throw me a life line please
I want to live in California
But I'm stuck on this Island with yah
All the fruits of my labour
Going down the drain
