I'm coming home from my hardest year
I'm making plans not to make plans while I'm here
And this life has been no holiday, a complicated situation
I'm fine with all my memories still I could use vacation
It's Christmas in California
And it's hard to ignore that
It feels like summer all the time
But I'll take a west coast winter
To remove my splinters
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
I'm coming home to the lights and buzz
Streets look the same, still nothing's as it was
This place is paradise I'm sure, here's my reservation
I've gotten lost here once before, inside a good vibration
It's Christmas in California
And it's hard to ignore that
It feels like summer all the time
But I'll take a west coast winter
To remove my splinters
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
And time, time it stops for no one
The seasons come and go and that's just time
Yeah, time it stops for no one
The seasons keep on going whether or not we're blind
Christmas in California
And it's hard to ignore that
It feels like summer all the time
But I'll take a west coast winter
To remove my splinters
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive
