I've got a cottage with a sea view

I've got a regular summer tan

I've been working up the courage to call you all year, oh

There is nothing I can say

There are no good words left anyway

Besides, people are cruel and the world still moves without you

Ohhh

Welcome to my Californian home

You don't have to call me

You can leave when you want

There's a picture by my bed

And there's a light in your eyes

I don't know

Well, I don't know

Why you still feel alone

And we were dying from the get go

I was dreaming, but you never believed

I was trying to fit myself in the spaces between, oh

And you were kind and sometimes cruel

You said all the world's love couldn't satisfy you

And nothing could have hurt me as much as the truth

Ohhh, darling

Welcome to my Californian home

You don't have to call me

You can leave when you want

There's a picture by my bed

And there's a light in your eyes

I don't know

Tell me because I want to find out

Do you still feel alone?

Love is elusive when you search for it

Don't I know

Happiness, sometimes it just creeps in

Don't I know it

I'm going crazy

I've been wondering

Do you still feel alone?

I need to find

Some kind of peace of mind

I need to find

I've got a cottage with a sea view

I've got a regular summer tan

I know that I deserve more

But I still want you

Welcome to my Californian home

You don't have to call me

You can leave when you want

There's a picture by my bed

And there's a light in your eyes

I don't know

Tell me because I want to find out

Do you still feel...

Welcome to my California

(I need to find)

Even though I'm not good for you

(Some kind of peace of mind)

There's a part of me still waiting for you

(I need to find)

Welcome to my happy ending

(I need to find)

Even though it's fun pretending

(Some kind of peace of mind)

I know

I know you can't look back

You can never go back

Welcome to my Californian home

(I know you can never go back again)

Welcome to my Californian home

(I know you can never go back again)

Welcome to my Californian home

(I know you can never go back)

I know I need to find out

Do you still feel...

Welcome to my California

(I need to find)

Even though I'm no good for you

(Some kind of peace of mind)

Deep inside there's a piece of me

There's a piece of me

Still waiting for you to come home

Welcome to my California

(I need to find)

I know you can never look back

You can never look back again

(Some kind of peace of mind)

But tell me because I want to find out

Do you still feel alone?

Oh no

Do you still feel alone?

Oh no, no
