Chest to chest, nose to nose Palm to palm, we were always just that close
Wrist to wrist, toe to toe And lips that felt just like the inside of a rose
So how come when I reach out my fingers It feels like more than distance between us
In this California kingpin Where ten thousand miles depart
I've been California wishing on the stars
Of your heart for me My California king
Eye to eye, cheek to cheek Side by side, you were sleeping next to me
Arm in arm, and dust to dome With the curtains drawn
And a little last night on these shoulders
So how come when I reach out my fingers It feels like more than distance between us
In this California kingpin Where ten thousand miles depart
I've been California wishing on the stars
Of your heart for me My California king
Just enough felt like giving up on us You turned around and gave me one last touch
And made everything feel better And even then my eyes got wetter
So confused when I ask you if you want me But I don't wanna feel so weak
Maybe I've been California kingpin
I've been California dreaming
In this California kingpin Where ten thousand miles depart
I've been California wishing on the stars Of your heart for me
My California king
How, how, how is this California kingpin?
Where ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on the stars
Of your heart for me My California king
