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 to come 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 it calling my name tonight take me away i need the sand and the waves, the sunset, and let's not forget those warm autumn days i just need to get out of here and visit the coast just to see her 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
