Mat Kearney - New York To California Lyrics






[Verse 1]
Under the TV lights, you fell asleep again
Dont know, I'm writing this song about you
There's a picture of a Hollywood sign, reflecting off your skin I
Don't want to live another day without you
You woke up and said baby I, had one of those dreams again
The rain came down and I lost you, In the wind
You said something about don't leave, before you fell back asleep
Before I could sing my song back to you

[Chorus]
But you could find your self lost out in this world
And I found a way to get back to your side
no mountains to high, no stone is too small
I'll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California

[Verse 2]
I could hear you softly breathing, oh what you do to me
But baby I could climb down into your dreams
I Build a ladder down through the clouds
Where the storms Is raging now I
Don't want to sing another song without you

[Chorus]
If you find your self lost out in this world
Then I'll find a way to get back to your side
no mountains to high, no stone is too small
I'll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California

Singing, la la la la la la
Ohhhh, It's not too far, la la la la la la
Ohhhh, to where you are, la la la la la la
Ohhh, It's not too far,

Cause you, could find your self lost out in this world
And I, Could find a way to get back to your side

[Chorus]
If you find your self lost out in this world
Then I'll find a way to get back to your side
No mountains to high, no stone is too small
I'll build a bridge through the fire, for you I would crawl
From New York to California, To California, To California

Mat Kearney New York To California Comments
  1. P.... C....

    For you I would crawl from New York to California ❤

  2. B.... B....

    Who in the world would "thumbs down" this. It was written for a novel, movie, biopic, etc (and so many have featured this classic from 2009, a decade ago. It's a love story wrapped around an enigma of Americana about not letting any distance separate you from (her or his Annie in this case) that special someone. Hearing City of Black and White one day drew me to this one. Both are very similar with this one being a little more intimate.

  3. h.... s....

    my best friend and crush lives in new York and i live all the way in California...this song broke my heart.

  15. A.... W....

    the melody isn't that similar to the scientist, but he used virtually the same chord progression as Coldplay which makes it sound so similar

  16. E.... M....

    Sarah if you see this, this song reminds me of you I love you forever. You'll forever be my angel

  17. B.... K....

    Oh this song is so relaxing.... This is real music :)

  21. G.... ....

    i agree..

  22. R.... M....

    I forgot i had this song on my iPod, and today, i made a playlist. Not just any playlist. One with real songs, with all the real singers. The singers that always bring you back, to a good time, one that makes you think its sunny outside no matter what it actually looks like.

  23. a.... ....

    Do you guys think this is would be a good song to slow dance to? Opinions please...and be nice.

  24. e.... ....

    i live in NY and wanna move to Cali :/

    e.... ....

    did you?

  25. T.... ....

    i bet one of his parents are black... why you might think... because of his voice...

    T.... ....

    a voice does not have to be black to sound good thats incredibly racist. lots of white boys sound great

    T.... ....

    they arent though...?

  26. T.... M....

    A voz do mat Kearney lebra a do ColdPlay e sao as duas lindas.Mat is relaxing, adoro.

  27. d.... ....

    @ASomBoooDee ha, i thought so to, but what i think is, that Matt have a voice which is not so sad, i mean, iMatt has no tears in his voice, i like that more.

  28. C.... ....

    5 people wouldn't crawl from new york to california

  29. m.... ....

    like coldplay, briliant :)

  30. E.... G....

    I love this song! :)

  31. J.... M....

    @thegreenbhoy I know right? He needs to realease some songs over here, I just love his music.

  32. t.... ....

    i moved from CA a few years ago, my whole life is there, all my friends, my family, the one person that means the most in the world to me. anyways, this song just makes me cry.

  33. u.... ....

    His voice reminds me a little bit of Five for Fighting, however, I think I enjoy Mat's music more than Five for Fighting's. :) I just cannot comprehend how Mat is not more popular!!!!

  34. S.... S....

    Absolutely love this song. When I first hear it, I was amazed at the lyrics. His love transcends through his music. Simply beautiful!

  35. P.... ....

    Okay compare this to Coldplay's "The Scientist"

  36. S.... J....

    serious addiction to this guy..

  37. P.... B....

    why Mat has not reached a UK audience is beyond me as the music is fantastic

  38. L.... ....

    You guys wanna know what makes Mat Kearney's music so good?

    He sings the kind of songs people want to have sung TO them.

    I'm moving to Chicago for college, and while that may not be NY or LA, the emotion in this song is making me tear up.

    "I don't wanna sing another song without you .. "

  39. C.... L....

    Okay, first I would like to say that this guy is amazing, he voice is so unique, and this so is beyond amazing. But it also reminds me of Coldplay's The Scientist. I'm not saying that either of them ripped each other off, just that the songs sound alike. However, they are both great songs and each song brings something new to it.

  40. I.... ....

    gunna be in new york for a month and a half, away from my girl back here in california :(...

  41. T.... F....

    beautiful song, beautiful artist.

  42. T.... F....

    @Bastaz1 that's because it is :)

  43. i.... ....

    @unit3451 you sounds gay!

  44. i.... ....

    he has ripped this off coldplay - yellow! Plagiarist, he even copies Chris Martin' style of singing

  45. C.... C....

    @Bastaz1 50 "vote up"s

  46. E.... K....

    when I turned on the song I was like: naaah. not my style.
    but then I read the lyrics and was blown away. it's such a sweet song.

  47. D.... ....

    West side nigga

  48. h.... ....

    You're an idiot.

  49. D.... ....

    East side nigga

  50. I.... _....

    yes, like the song ''the scientist'' of coldplay

  51. t.... l....

    mat kearney has the best switch from chest voice to head voice i know of. amazing.

  52. J.... ....

    is it just me, or does all his music just sound and feel more "real" than most music thats coming out recently. i mean theres a lotta good music out there, but his sounds more like its coming from a real person.

  53. I.... ....

    "For you i would crawl from New York to California"
    -Amazing
