about

One afternoon in cali I got together with Justin Froese and Jonathan Jones for a songwriting session. Jonathan had a song title idea... "California Heartache". It instantly made me think of my boyfriend who moved to California to be with me from Chicago. This song is written from his perspective. It was really fun getting into his psyche and bringing his energy through in this tune. I hope you like it as much as we do!

lyrics

Verse 1
Everybody says it's so great
Out in LA
Everyone was so wrong
Now there’s no one I can blame

It’s 72 and sunny
every goddamn day
I prefer it colder
And a little more grey

Chorus
Coulda loved you better in Chicago baby
I could of given you the world
Lovin’ you better in Chicago baby
But now I’m drownin’ in a
California Heartache

Verse 2
You make me feel so high
when I’m feeling low
But I wanna go back to Chicago
where I feel at home

Wanna get a little bit gritty
Feeling the life of the city
Something I know that can hit like
Midnight jazz
Taking you out for the weekend
Turnin it up and we’re freakin’
Wanna get back to the thing that I once had

Chorus
Coulda loved you better in Chicago baby
I could of given you the world
Lovin’ you better in Chicago baby
But now I’m drownin’ in a
California Heartache
You’re giving me a California Heartache

Bridge
Sitting with you by the ocean
Get lost up in your emotion
I remember why I came here
It’s only you
always you
Baby you know I would do anything
Just to be close to you

Coulda loved you better in Chicago baby
I could of given you the world

Chorus
Coulda loved you better in Chicago baby
I could of given you the world
Lovin’ you better in Chicago baby
But now I’m drownin’ in a
California Heartache
You’re giving me a California Heartache
California Heartache
