You belong in California

from The Big Reveal (album) by Casual Fantastic

lyrics

You belong in California
You don’t belong here
You belong in California
You don’t belong here
We appreciate your good vibes
We like to have you around
We like your smile and to make you laugh
But we’re made to bring you down
You told fond stories in California
Where in stories we remained
You would wonder what became of us
Now you know we never changed
You moved back to Massachusetts
You thought you missed home
You thought it’s the grown-up thing to do
Now you’re living in a state of obligation
You belong in California you don’t belong here . . .
We welcome your good nature
How you lighten up the days
But you must know we’ll slowly swallow up your sunshine
Because darkness is our way
See, you’re pretty and you’re positive
Things we both like and resent
Like how we send our thoughts and prayers
But it's Hell we represent
Can’t you see all that you’re giving
We gladly take but don’t return
Maybe it’s in the water but
The love you give we’ll never earn
You belong in California . . .
