Running from the night
I drove miles away to finally feel alone
There's no moon in sight
But the desert lights could lead the way back home

I'm in the moment living undercover
Paintin' on each other all the colors I can't get enough
California dreaming's never what it seems
But here it comes I know what I must do it now

I need it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I feel it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I see it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
(Da, da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da)
I know it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I own it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I show it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
(Da, da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da)

Give me paradise
I'll eclipse the stars and fall like ones before
I'm like Aphrodite
And it's fine to only know the things I know

I'm in the moment living undercover
Paintin' on each other all the colors I can't get enough
California dreaming's never what it seems
But here it comes I know what I must do it now

I need it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I feel it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I see it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
(Da, da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da)
I know it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I own it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
I show it (Da, da-da-da-da-da)
(Da, da-da-da-da-da, da, da-da)

I'm feeling dramatic
I like the moon and the magic of this
Oh, I, oh I
I'm feeling dramatic
I like the moon and the magic of this
Oh, I, oh, I
