about

'Welcome to sunny California, a beautiful and magical place!' was written on the postcard you received a couple of weeks after she went away.
A song about those long and lasting nights, you wish she was here with you

Track No4 from the upcoming album 'Postcards from my Youth'
A bittersweet summer song 'cause I miss you
'cause you're not here

lyrics

I wish I could get away
From this madness
From my world
'Cause I need to forget

I wish you would come with me
While I'm driving
All alone and I just feel a little dead

But you're not here with me
'Cause you're still in California
And although I'll be fine
'Cause you don't know how I long to hold ya

Hold ya
Hold ya
Hold ya

'Cause I still
Feel
On my skin

Your touch, your smell and your gaze
And I can't return at home at night when I'm drunk and alone
'Cause I
I miss you every single day

But you're not here with me
You're still in California
And although I'll be fine
'Cause you don't know how I long to hold ya

Hold ya
Hold ya
Hold ya
