Awake at ground zero
Another day wasting away
Nothing seems to matter
'Cause nothing's ever changed

California dreamin'
Has never meant that much to me
When living in this nightmare
Comes so easily

Holding on...
When I don't belong...

If this is right, then I can't go wrong
Holding on...
But I know right now I'll never make it

Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow
And figure out where to begin
Maybe I won't feel so hollow
But I'm pretty sure that I'll be sleeping in

Days seem like they're decades
And minutes pass like years gone by
Still I sit here wasting
The time of my life
California dreamin'
Will never mean that much to me
And you will never understand
How it feels to be...

Holding on...
When you don't belong...

When you don't feel right
But it's all you got...

Holding on...
But I'm pretty sure I'll never make it

Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow
And figure out where to begin
And maybe I won't feel so hollow...

It's 3 A.M.,
(It's 3 A.M.)
It feels like these stone walls are caving in

Please tell me I'm not alone
(I'm not alone...)
'Cause I'm tired of sleeping in!
(Whoa!)
Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow...
(Whoa!)
And figure out where to begin...
(Whoa!)
Maybe I won't feel so hollow
But I'm pretty sure I'll be sleeping in
