California called me to warm my feet in the sand
And it felt just like home when I held your hand
Floating in the ocean like a gentle friend
But who knew that it could all end?
Lifting me high on a bed of light
Weightless hope to get me through the night
The cool of the water in the heat of the day
But who knew that you would fall away?
Cuz when the storms rolled in, the white peaks rose
Take me down, tossed and blown
Escape the air, ride the unknown
Pull me under, send me alone
And if the ocean's where I drown, take me down
Take me down
Raging winds, a journey for the tough
But I'm a masochist and I like it rough
To reach the calmer seas, I'd swim for years
But who knew that I'd choke on my tears?
Cuz when the storms rolled in, the white peaks rose
Take me down, tossed and blown
Escape the air, ride the unknown
Pull me under, send me alone
And if the ocean's where I drown, take me down
Take me down
Float away, promise me you'll stay
Take me home, take me home
Take me down, tossed and blown
Escape the air, ride the unknown
Pull me under, send me alone
And if the ocean's where I drown, take me down
Take me down
