One, two, three, four
Take me away to January
I'm done with this year 
I'm tired of everyone here
I just need some time alone
Before I'm ready [bad word] back home

There's gotta be something else out there for me, 
I could feel it in my heart 
The day I started to dream.
There's more than this Midwestern town
I can't let this place keep me down

So I tell myself

There's a girl out on the coast of California, 
There's a world out there and it's waiting for you 
And I can hear them calling my name, tonight 

Take me away I need the sand and the waves, the sunset, 
And lets not forget those warm Autumn days. 
I just need to get out of here 
And vist the coast just to see her.
