December
Dozen of palm trees
Give up those car keys
And walk to the new year
Ignore these mischievous motives
My balance and focus get blurry when you're near

But I want my Christmas day in the sun
All I want this year is California
It's not too much to ask for Christmas day in the sun
I need a better way to spend the new year
As long as you're around
Yeah

Rain drops are painted on rooftops
Locals, they don't stop
I know where it's headed
I'm not cut out for these parties
I know where my heart is
I try and forget it

So I want my Christmas day in the sun
All I want this year is California
It's not too much to ask for Christmas day in the sun
I need a better way to spend the new year
As long as you're around

Their faces always go away
When we were young I heard you say
It's yours to lose
It's yours to lose

Don't say i'll wait
You don't have to remember
I'm out of excuses
I hear the echos of us in the station
They're pointing and laughing

Reminding me
I want my Christmas day in the sun
All I want this year is California
It's not too much to ask for Christmas day in the sun
I need a better way to spend the new year
As long as you're around year
