The Cali Buds Lyrics
A Skylit Drive

Lyrics
What is friendship
This is friendship
This is for my friends
This one's for my cali buds
California, waiting for ya
(We stand tall...)
I said it's time you believe in
(...all in all)
I said it's time you believe in me
We play such different roles
I caught onto you, caught onto you
I hope you're ready, I hope you're ready
I hope you're ready for the fall and what's to come
We smash ourselves, live fast and break it all for the ones
Stand by me, through all we see
I know we live fast and break it all
Break it all!
California, waiting for ya
(We stand tall...)
I feel free to fell a little uncertain
(...all in all)
I'll never know what tomorrow brings
I can only hope I'm as alive as tonight
I hope you're ready, I hope you're ready
I hope you're ready for the fall and what's to come
We smash ourselves, live fast and break it all for the ones
Stand by me, through all we see
I know we live fast and break it all
We clash and put ourselves back together
Clash and put ourselves back together
I'd fight for you, I'd kill for you,
I know, I know
We say, "I'd fight for you", "Oh God I'd kill for you",
We say, we say
"There's a part of me that's in you, part of me that's in you"
We say, we say
"I never thought that you'd be on your own, your own (your own)".
I hope you're ready for the fall and what's to come
We smash ourselves, live fast and break it all
Stand by me, through all we see
I know we live fast and break it all
Live fast and break it all
Live fast and break it all
I hope you're ready for the fall and what's to come
I know we live fast and break it all
Break it all!
California, waiting for ya
