"California"

I'm not falling for anymore of these tricks,
I'm so tired of everything here,
The sun is calling me to the west,
Everyone's having fun out there,
My bags are packed as I'm looking out the window,
Everything is so outdated here,
I wanna move west where the sun is shining,
I want my friends to all be there,

[Chorus:]
Let's pack up and move to California,
She's got lots of friends out there,
We'll never get bored cause we can go boardin',
Let's let the sunshine take us there,

I'm tired of taking it slow,
So tired but I'm not sleeping,
I'm wired about to pick up my board,
Cause we're all headed out for the weekend,

Let's pack up and move to California,
Hop on board before we get older,
Raise your hand and shout for California

Come on,
Come on,
Come on, 

[Chorus]

Come on,
Come on,
Come on, 

[Chorus x2]

Let's pack up and move to California,
Hop on board before we get older,
Raise your hands we're headed for the border, 

Come on,
Come on,
Come on

15 years later and I still know every word to every song on this album.

2019 still rocking it

I miss the original Pop Punk Hawk Nelson. I discovered them on Wow Hits.

2019?... no, okay... i'm the only one...

TRXYE 2019 ayo

I was 23 when this song came out
Now my kids want me to play this song for them in 2019 😃

And this why my home state of CA is slammed packed!!!!! CA was so RAD in the 90’s now you can’t move or anywhere in under an hour it seems most days!!!!!

Is it just me or does the guy at 2:30 look like Trevor McNevan from Thousand Foot Krutch?

Sounds like teerawk

Hold up is that a Tom Delonge strat I see😂😂🤙

Wouldn't surprise me. The former singer Jason Dunn of Hawk Nelson is a fan of Blink182.

You bet -- I got into Blink relatively recently and only made the connection a couple months ago. Packin' that Seymour Duncan Invader punch.

This song brings back lots of memories for me!

2:29 Scott raynor?

Throwback!

I miss music like this

I love song because I relate to it so much!!!

How times change ... :(

A Five Iron Frenzy/Hawk Nelson with Jason Dunn tour is long overdue. It makes perfect sense when Hawk were originally a Canadian band singing about California, and FIF is an American band that wrote a song called Oh, Canada.

I miss you hawk nelson

Still one of the best pop punk songs of all time

Also dat trev cameo doh

Just saw a post that my friend is moving to Cali from Ohio, so I posted this on her page. Come on out, everybody!

2 minutes and 58 seconds of pure, distilled nostalgia. It's like I'm back sitting at my grandparents' computer desk listening to this on loop during vacation.

Man, I miss those days.

So. many. mixed. emotions.

2018 guys and still wanting to go to California

THIS SONG IS LITERALLY ME, I LOVE CALIFORNIA SO MUCH
CAN I SUBSCRIBE TO THE OLD HAWK NELSON?

Lmao their outfits 😂😂💀💀

Nice Tom Delonge Stratocaster

Nostalgia man..

This song is still amazing on 2017

I miss old hawk nelson dont get me wrong new stuff is good but they should have stayed punk

The original lineup minus the original bassist (who has New Hawk Nelson commitments) just started a band. facebook(dot)com/aidandeffect

The perfect end song for a senior.

Ironically I am moving to California

omg! so awesome, I would L O V E to live there

The new hawk nelson is good, but THIS was what I loved in highschool!

Who besides me thinks Lights Go Down should go back on tour?

I was in elementary school when HN came to my church to play. Fell in love, I remember hunching over my original Xbox to play their CD's, HN was all I ever listened to back then. I was so heartbroken when I heard that Jason left the band, I heard "Words" on a church lock-in, and all I remember was saying, "This is NOT Hawk Nelson." Miss their old stuff, brings back some fond memories.

You saw the real hawk nelson! I love the old stuff so much

I know Jason personally he goes to my church and sings a lot. He still has just as much energy.

As a teenager who wasn't allowed to listen to anything that wasnt considered christian, i loved this band. And this was my jam

Battle Born right? They were the reason I didn't lose my mind. If I heard one more Amy Grant song I'd have lost my mind. Hawk Nelson was the closest I could get to listening to "normal" music. They got me through high school.

Angee Kallam same 100% with me. I think I discovered public radio in grade 11

Battle Born you and me both brother

Battle Born I feel this on a personal level. Without bands like hawk nelson I wouldn't have survived my teen years lmao

Haha me too! I only was allowed to listen to Christian music. I loved hawk Nelson, subseven, falling up, anberlin life house.. I could go on haha

love this song!!

I'm crying I miss the 2000's

Kedukhono Neikha same uuuuuuuuhhhh

Why did I have to discover this band AFTER they started mainstream garbage.. I still can't get Diamonds out of my head.. Took me forever to Tolerate Drops in the ocean.

i miss the past genre of this band

im only 14 and I've been listening to hawk nelson, switchfoot, yellowcard, blink 182, and flyleaf since​ i was in elementary school. And the best console​ was the original xbox!

It's crazy how Daniel Biro is the only original member now. Anyways, love Hawk Nelson old and new stuff but prefer their older pop punk sound

WE'RE BACK!!! Check out Aid & Effect. 3 of 4 original HN members back at it making music! Working on new music now! www.facebook.com/aidandeffect

Jason sings at my church

Holy cow. My childhood. Youth group, disciple-now weekends, lock ins at church. The good old days.

Love this!!! Takes me back!!! But why can't I find the music video for "The One Thing I Have Left"?

inb4 Blinks Bored to Death video is very similar to this one. The album is called California aswell.

That Tom DeLonge strat is LOVE

that moment you realize you haven't heard this song in 7 years

nathan blake make that 8 years for me

nathan blake same man, same

RIP Real Hawk Nelson

WE'RE BACK!!! Check out Aid & Effect. 3 of 4 original HN members back at it making music! Working on new music now! www.facebook.com/aidandeffect

so sad tho

Amen. After Jason left, they became another generic contemporary Christian band

Let’s be honest: real Hawk Nelson was the album after this one.

@Jason Dunn What's Up Jason Buddy!! :)

i seen them twice in cali

Man. Life was sooooooo good back in those days. Wish I could go back and never leave.

Christ Is Risen That's exactly what I was thinking!

TVU anyone?

flashback to being a kid

holy crap

Original Hawk Nelson I miss this type of music it's so Rare now a days.

yep a lot of modern secular pop punk do not measure up to reliant k and hawk nelson.

I think the only band that still kinda does rock is swtichfoot otherwise all of them have changed to pop.

Vacaciones switchfoot changed too.

Westdog they did!? Relient K?

Suddenly I'm in high-school again. :)

Trevor!!! awesome!! 😄

This is the most 2000's thing that exists.

Saunders Drukker yes!

holy crap....hoody....headphones....high school...

Not Sure yep, that just described me back then :)

i really like this song.the first time i listened to it,it was so awesome!!

Daniel Biro never ages! What is his secret???

love it

Brasil Brasil Brasil Brasil, rock Rock Rock ,CADE A GALERA APAIXONADA POR ESSE ESTILO DE MUSICA

Rock N' Roll Baby! Yeah!

I'm here!!

2016 e eu ainda escuto esses caras ahahah 🇧🇷 BR

*X*2005*

Was looking for this song for months. I love it. Love this band. :) good times listening to this song when it came out.

Oh I get it! Trevor McNevan was the producer in their older albums, so in a way, he took them to California! And in this video, he does! (He's the one in the jeep.) Correct me if I'm wrong lol

LOVE THIS MUSIC VIDEO AND SONG

Ahhhh that guy has the Tom Delonge guitar!

Finally someone who know blink is here!

You guys rock i love you hawk nelson!!!!! <3 <3 <3

Back when Hawk Nelson was good.

Back when Hawk Nelson was original!!!! I hate how unoriginal they became when Jason left the band. Now they sound like your average CCM band

WE'RE BACK!!! Check out Aid & Effect. 3 of 4 original HN members back at it making music! Working on new music now! www.facebook.com/aidandeffect

@Jason Dunn Totally just stumbled across this comment. Finally! The original lineup was when the band was at it's best. Looks like I'll be adding some new music today!

Let’s be honest, they were best with the album after this one.

Is he playing a Tom Delonge Fender?

Ah yes 2000s rock

the memories....deff good vibes here!

This is the one Hawk Nelson song I can remember from back in the day that I can pick right off the top of my head. I actually really like their new music! I sing it all time!
But more importantly:
Did no one else notice Jason Dunn's ThunderCats wrist band?! That's like the epitome of my childhood right there!

This is one of my favorite Christian rock bands  but they have sadly gone pop like every other punk band it needs to come back.

Aww I remember this song I loved it sooooooooo much and still do I first heard it on gospel music channel those were the days.

Years later I'm still in love with them. Especially the lead singer of the band who has always been my favorite. LOVE YOU GUYS!!

I click play. Everything goes dark. Suddenly I am in my high school cafeteria, headphones on, chicken nugget in hand...

EXACTLY!!

For real lol

Reminiscing on the unnecessary slaughter of animals nice

Johnny 99 ^ Found the Vegan smh

0:45 why is he holding his crotch?

Was that Trevor Mcnevan of tfk on that geep in the end??!!!

Yes, this is Trevor McNevan)))

Ольчик Зык holy cow! My childhood idol in another awesome punk rock video!!!!

I still love it!

Is the singer still the same guy ?

No sadly the current singer is the old guitarist I think.

yea jason dunn is the old singer. doin a new band the lights go down

Sometimes, being an extra for that friend who's attending film school can come back to haunt you... 0:15

That was you?

First song by them I ever heard.

This video makes me feel so old

Holy shit, I loved this music in middle school. Fucking Christian school.

holy shit thats me

I love this song and video so much and Trevor McNevan being in it just makes it perfect!

My favorite childhood song

reminds me of when I followed the California dream.... It lasted all of 5 months and then I realized that its all overrated. California is a nice vacation spot, but living there is a whole different story
