lyrics

Up in the air like a roman candle on a summer night
Out in the yard just like a redbird in the rain
Stuck inside on a snow day with a box of art supplies
Magic marker, paper, glue, and tape

Is it true, what they say about California
Being where young men of promise run and shine?
It is true, what they say about trying anyway?
Though your heart and soul might shudder
when situations call for spine

I need you like a mixed up kid needs to find another school
I need you just like a teacher needs a rule
I need you like a life guard needs a whistle and some shades
I need you just like tomorrow needs today

Is it true, what they say about California
Being where young men of promise run and shine?
It is true, what they say about trying anyway?
Though your heart and soul might shudder as you watch the days go by

Feed your faith; your doubts will starve
It’s written on the wall
Twinkle, twinkle little star
But surely that ain’t all

I need you like the police need a riot in the street
I need you just like the Raiders need the Chiefs
I need you like a sparkler needs a summer night so blue
Do you need me the way that I need you?
Do you need me the way that I need you?
Do you need me the way that I need you?
Do you need me the way that I need you?
