英文歌词：

I knew that this was wrong
As I stood reaching for
The bedroom light
She turned me on
So I turned it off

 
Now every man has got his flaws¹
His breaking point
Sacred cause
And I had mine
But I crossed that line

Now I could never ask you to
Forgive me for the things I do
But if you ever need me
You know where I'll be

Meet me in California
I'll be there waiting for your call
I'll be there waiting for you
Do you know in California
There's something better for us all?
Meet me in California

This night was like a bible verse²
With pages torn, missing words
Condemning³ me
And I'm on my knees

I wish that I could start again
Peel the past like sunburned skin
Right off of me
But it's not that easy

Now I could never ask you to
Forgive me for the things I do
But if you ever need me
You know where I'll be

Meet me in California
I'll be there waiting for your call
I'll be there waiting for you
Do you know in California
There's something better for us all?
Meet me in California

I don't wanna say goodbye
And I don't wanna make you cry
I just wanna see you smile again
'Cause everything I used to be
Is waiting over there for me
This is a beginning, not an end

Now I could never ask you to
Forgive me for the things I do
But if you ever need me
You know where I'll be

Meet me in California
I'll be there waiting for your call
I'll be there waiting for you
Do you know in California
There's something better for us all?
Meet me in California, oh, oh
I'll be there waiting for you
Do you know in California
There's something better for us all?
Meet me in California
