Go Radio - That California Song Lyrics






She said “Sing me a lullaby so sweet,
That the lights would stay away from me
Because my eyes see things they shouldn’t see
Help me.”
So I started to tremble out a verse
But my words weren’t lining up with her
But then the way that she hurt was even worse
Than without me.

So I got high
And I lost faith in a melody
Written for a girl when I had nothing left to hide,
And then I cried
Cause I’m missing you and missing Florida
It’s a long way back from California.

And as the sun fell dark behind the sea,
I felt her eyes steal another look at me,
She said “I’m looking for things I’ll never see.”
Release me
And how’d this summer air just get so cold?
And how’d this quiet girl just get so bold?
And how can she be something I can’t hold?
Tell me

So I got high
And I lost faith in a melody
Written for a girl when I had nothing left to hide,
And then I cried
Cause I’m missing you and missing Florida
It’s a long way back from California.

California

Cuz I’m missing you, and missing Florida,
It’s a long way back from California
A long way back from California.

Go Radio That California Song Comments
  1. Z.... M....

    Jason Lancaster is a god.

  2. S.... ....

    This shit is still a personal cult classic for me. #2019

  3. A.... C....

    this takes me back :')

  4. J.... H....

    This is a great song still. Wish they would have released a single

  5. r.... ....

    Go radio broke up?!

    r.... ....

    rvicemc1 Yeah man. Still a thing.

  6. A.... A....

    Go radio broke up today I don't know what to do with my life anymore

  7. S.... B....

    dude.....if Derek sings something Jason wrote for his old band can be considered as taking credit of what Jason wrote.....dude it was nobody's fault Jason left the band.....he just needs to cause his father died...if Derek is the one taking credits of what jason wrote would they still be friends??? .....they toured together in 2010.....think about it dude.....both bands taste like gummi bears dipped in nuttela sprinkled with MnM's all over it......cooled on the fridge .........

  8. N.... T....

    They see you trollin'

  9. T.... ....

    I second this

  10. R.... W....

    Why the fuck are people still arguing about this fucking Mayday shit still??? It happened 5 years ago! This is fucking ridiculous. It's shit that is from 5 years ago that is now squashed. If you're hear listen to Go Radio don't go on about how old Mayday is better this is Go Radio, so let's just shut the hell up and enjoy the fact that Jason is still making great music with 3 other really talented musicians.

    R.... W....

    Rob Weaver it’s been like 15 and I’m still pissed, Rob.

  11. a.... ....

    Jason is the chuck norris of music

  12. J.... J....

    I understand what you're trying to say. I was looking at the booklet insert on ALIR, and it said all credits for writing and such goes to Mayday Parade, and the only acknowledgement Jason got was "back up vocals and back up guitar." I thought it was pretty obvious Jason wrote the majority of the lyrics. I mean, nothing against New Mayday, but you can tell the writing is different after ALIR and the writing for Go Radio's stuff is just flawless IMO. Jason is such a talented composer & lyricist

  13. J.... B....

    I don't want to be misunderstood. I'm not saying that Derek isn't nice to his fans or kind to other people in his life.

    Here's what bothers me. Jason wrote many songs on the album A Lesson in Romantics and then Derek, perhaps along with other members of the band, went behind Jason's back and took legal credit for writing the songs. This means every time the songs get played on the radio or someone buys them on iTunes Derek is getting money for the songs written by Jason.

  14. k.... h....

    Or considering that Jason has nothing to do with Mayday Parade now- so he's not there to take 'credit' for the songs. And how do you even know that Derek takes 'credit' for them? Have you asked him? They play them at concerts because people like the songs, people know the songs. I highly doubt Derek is taking credit for them. I think he knows that the words aren't his. So I stand by my statement that Derek is one of the sweetest guys I've ever met.

  15. J.... B....

    Well considering Derek took credit for the songs that Jason wrote on A Lesson in Romantics and the money that came with it, I stand by my statement that Derek is kinda a dick.

  16. k.... h....

    Saw what? How is Derek a dick? He's one of the sweetest guys I've ever met! And so is Jason. They're both amazing.

  17. J.... B....

    Agreed. New Mayday are still good though. Derek's just kinda a dick.

  18. J.... J....

    I agree!

  19. h.... ....

    where are you at currently?

  20. S.... ....

    Man they need to put this as a bonus track on the new album!

  21. L.... ....

    @PaulaCutiee get bent

  22. b.... ....

    then I got HIIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHH

  23. d.... ....

    firs i was like.. but then i was like... and now im like...

  24. g.... ....

    first song of go radio,, i remember listening to this on 2009 and thinking it was mayday parade

  25. T.... G....

    @ilykemewzic im 1000% agreed with this for sure. best post on a go radio vid

  26. T.... ....

    @marffgirl jason lancaster's voice is like the skeet of a god

  27. G.... S....

    Does he say, "Then I got high"? Cus' that's kinda funny xP

  28. Q.... ....

    Hey guys lets storm their facebook, twitter, and anything else with comments asking, begging, pleading for the to officially release it

  29. a.... w....

    jason leaving mp has just made two bands, i will enjoy forever.

    go radio & mayday parade ftw!

  30. K.... S....

    @Rtp295 feel like i should say this. mayday admitted that they lost their way completley with 'Anywhere But Here' and that for the new album their trying to go back a bit to what they used to be..
    we all know they'll never quite be as good as they were, but they're making an effort not to go further mainstream, so thats a good thing..

  31. m.... ....

    @marffgirl It's ok. Just don't let it happen again.

  32. T.... C....

    everyone that like go radio mayday parade etc, listen to "kid named chicago" its jason before mayday, it's simply amazing

  33. c.... ....

    @Rtp295 lolwut

  34. c.... ....

    @Rtp295

    Lol
    You're* :)

  35. A.... D....

    basically, Jason Lancaster is amazing!! <3

  36. t.... ....

    Old Mayday Parade-Go Radio=New Mayday Parade

  37. m.... ....

    @marffgirl Die.

  38. t.... ....

    the ranking system
    1) Go Radio
    2) Old mayday parade
    3) New mayday parade

  39. D.... M....

    @ilykemewzic i feel exactly the same way

  40. :.... ....

    @IHateYouForNoReason Forever My Father is being redone also.

  41. E.... M....

    It's so frustrating that they never put this on a record :(

  42. K.... E....

    @marffgirl What the fuck is wrong with your ears?

  43. c.... ....

    ilykemewzic is correct

  44. R.... A....

    anyone know where to get this mp3?

  45. t.... b....

    I really like the videos that go with this song... :)

  46. I.... ....

    I find it amusing how people are hating on Mayday Parade. Granted letting Jason go was a mistake, Mayday is still just as good, and Go Radio is also good. Don't like it? Go cry in a corner instead of on youtube where nobody gives a shit.

  47. I.... ....

    I find it amusing how people are hating on Mayday Parade because they let Jason go. Granted it was a mistake, but they're just as good as they were before. Don't like it? Go cry in a corner instead of on youtube comments where nobody gives a shit.

  48. t.... ....

    @superrtubes We can like both bands. And dislike/like comments are really annoying.

  49. K.... F....

    @peaceloveariel12 Nov 26th <3 Already going!

  50. c.... ....

    Old Mayday Parade > Go Radio > New Mayday Parade
    ...
    That's all I have to say.

  51. K.... F....

    Mayday Parade and Go Radio are gonna be on tour <3

  52. H.... ....

    @sportsguy6543 hope you had the greatest time of your life at that concert :)

  53. B.... G....

    the mayday parade suck penis. they fucked up by not keeping jason around. hope they all die

  54. C.... H....

    GUESS WHAT!!!........
    :)

  55. m.... ....

    @xMYxONLYxYOUx well obviously you love ALIR cause that was all jason lol

  56. I.... L....

    Jason Lancaster is a lyrical god.

  57. D.... ....

    I could relate to MP's ALIR album so much..every song was amazing and they all touched me. I wish Jason hadn't split but I understand why..I'd be pissed if I didn't get any credit either...but imagine what their next album would've been like?? Sure would've beat Anywhere But Here...........

  58. c.... ....

    The best go radio song by far

  59. Z.... M....

    The truth is mayday has always and will always be good live... with or without jason. But jason is the better lyricist and vocalist. But regardless they are still amazing. But not quite as amazing as before. and AliR will never get old

  60. T.... ....

    @trav4mac Agreed

  61. T.... W....

    I really don't like many of Go Radio's songs, maybe just Goodnight Moon. I LOVE Mayday Parade. Jason should have gotten credit. ):

  62. C.... F....

    I personally still like mayday parade, but without jason, whose vocals and lyrics got me to like the band, theres nothing unique about them...they sound like alot of other bands

  63. c.... ....

    @XxShwangBangxX im guessing ur talking about "i swear this time i mean it" jason wrote that fyi

  64. t.... ....

    @Dansquatre Yes he does! Not a raspy sound like his brother but a DAMN good singer!

  65. f.... ....

    @NArca925 haha, your so right

  66. B.... W....

    @xMYxONLYxYOUx But the thing is that Jason is still trying to some Miserable at Best sound alikes now. Mayday is still a good live band and their singles off the new album were good... Even though The Silence is about New Moon.

  67. B.... S....

    @NArca925 Not to bring back a commnet from the dead but there is one good song on that album. Thats it. And if it had Jason's voice, it would probably be my favorite song of all time.

  68. R.... W....

    @XxShwangBangxX Daniel is in both select start and stages & stereos.

  69. B.... S....

    Whats jasons brothers band named?

  70. A.... B....

    Just saying, Jason Lancaster cannot scream. I appreciate the passion he is putting into this song, and I love Go Radio, but this is definately not one of their winners.

  71. M.... ....

    It wouldn't really bother me if this song doesn't show up in the future. I'm a HUGE GR fan, but this song doesn't really do it for me like everything else they've put out

  72. k.... ....

    @laydbck777 you know the other three? this ones epic

  73. C.... G....

    @laydbck777 they guys in go radio said when it came time to re-recording this song, it came out kinda shitty and they didnt have time to do it over. so unfortunately this is why it was never really released.

  74. D.... A....

    @NArca925 In my opinion, Mayday Parade is wherever Jason is...

  75. L.... O....

    this has the same feel i get
    when i listen to mayday parade
    i can relate to it
    just like mayday!
    i love jason lancaster's voice!<3
    it is ahhmazzing!!
    but,i still love mayday moree!!!//sorry!

  76. L.... ....

    I truly agree with what you say man, Jason Lancaster's fucking mint. Mayday sounds like just another powerpop band out there in there new album.

  77. m.... ....

    @devzap516 ur totaly right.. i still like mayday parade but without jason it's just not the same. his passionate voice makes every song even more genius

  78. c.... ....

    @jukiluti
    I agree with what you said. Also just listen to the instrumentals (mostly in the verses); they sound wayyyy way different than they used to w/ Jason in the band. Now the instrumentals are predictable--average. Something you'd expect from an average 'alternative' band. MP sounds more like this type of average band now. They didn't whatsoever before, they were different. Now they're just average.

  79. j.... ....

    @YUCATUBE102000 Its a comparison to their old stuff, which in some ways isn't fair because they aren't the same band member wise as they used to be. For me their lyrics sound more cheesy and less meaningful without jason. The duel singing effect was amazing, but jason clearly had the most talent imo. I can't stand derek by himself.

  80. L.... G....

    why do you guys think that mayday parade is terrible now they're still pretty good

  81. j.... s....

    wow, 33hahahawaitwhat33, are you retarded.
    jason basiclly made mayday parade so unique, he wrote most of there songs. He left the band, it had nothing to do with that he couldnt make it?
    Jason is amazing.

  82. c.... ....

    @laydbck777
    That's a shame it's not around anymore, it's quite a good song. If I had known about Go Radio back then I would have downloaded this song for sure. :(

  83. c.... ....

    Where is this song from?

  84. P.... ....

    he did for go radios first songs

  85. A.... ....

    yes. he wrote all the songs. which means he arranged all the instruments.

  86. J.... T....

    I totally agree, his deep soulfull voice is very unique. MP has become very.....plain.

  87. A.... ....

    Jason wrote all their songs from ALIR. Every line, every instrument, everything. He's the only reason for the success they've had, without him, Mayday Parade is just another band.

  88. K.... O....

    good song props to jason

  89. N.... ....

    Actually you're kinda retarded.

    Most Mayday Parade fans had no idea. And their new album is just awful. Just awful. I'm sorry.

  90. S.... ....

    it's not like that . Even tho they didn't kick him out, they did force him out and take all the credit for his work, it's not his fault, yet i don't hate MP either .


    Jason all the way !

  91. a.... ....

    well its an opinion so it wouldnt be ridiculous

  92. E.... P....

    oh jason, how mayday misses you so.

  93. N.... ....

    I would hope so, they're on a major label.

    I hope you're not trying to say the new Mayday is better then Go Radio. Because that would be fucking ridiculous.

  94. r.... ....

    jason has the best voice and lyrics

  95. H.... D....

    well, he married Katy from miserable at best.
    jamie all over was his song from a band called the last try, later called kid named chicago.
    his new song "Thanks For Nothing" has a feeling reminiscent to "when i get home"
    those are maydays three most successful songs..

  96. M.... B....

    dear jason, go back to mayday. they need you, you need them.
    sincerely, mack.
    p.s. >;)

  97. j.... ....

    where'd you get this song? i can't find it on itunes or anywhere?

  98. K.... ....

    agreed, mayday parade is nothing at all without jason, the rest of the members deserve no credit whatsoever other than performing the songs live. he wrote all the music, guitar parts, drum parts, and vocals, and he made the right decision to leave the band.

  99. H.... D....

    you gotta hear his new songs..

    tanks for nothing.

    and

    fall asleep first.

    ive got tanks for nothing uploaded on my channel =]

  100. i.... ....

    darkbizoas, I totally agree, like his parts are my favorite in all the songs. "but you dropped a note and we changed key..." that verse and his parts in miserable at best etc etc
