"California" lyrics

My tank's runnin' on empty
Hittin' every red in this goddamn city
Cortisol candy, edible, skinny
Can't find the angels 'cause they moved to Wyoming
I keep getting cornered for coffee
And maybe this time it'll actually happen
Fifth times the charm, doing the dance
Each time they're sick, so we'll plan it again

Ain't that the way it goes?
It's who you know, and who they know
And what you do
And I've been doing a lot to prove
I can sell a room
I can be consumed

Won't somebody look at me
Tell me that I'm gonna be
Who I was at 17
Living out her biggest dreams
Driven by a fantasy
All I want and all I need
But the grass is never green out
In California

Ooo, ahh (ahh)
Ooo, ahh (ahh)

Won't stop 'til my name's on the pavement
Shaped like a star, 'cause ego's expensive
Eye's on their phone, or crossing the street
Perfect for gum, or relieving a stream?

Well ain't that the way it goes?
It's who you know, and who they think you know
Or pretend you do
And I've been doing a lot to prove
I can be of use
I can be consumed

Won't somebody look at me
Tell me that I'm gonna be
Who I was at 17
Living out her biggest dreams
Driven by a fantasy
All I want and all I need
But the grass is never green out
In California

Ooo, ahh (ahh)
Ooo, ahh (ahh)

I want, I want you to want me bad
I want, I want you to want me bad
Can't stop, dreaming is all I have
And I want, I want it to want me back
I want, I want you to want me bad
I want, want you to want me bad
Can't stop, dreaming is all I have
And I want, I want it to want me back

So won't somebody look at me
And tell me that I'm gonna be
Who I was at 17
Living out her biggest dreams
Driven by a fantasy
All I want and all I need
But the grass is never green out
In California
