You don't ever have to Be stronger than you really are When you're lying in my arms, baby You don't ever have to Go faster than your fastest pace Or faster than my fastest cars I shouldn't have done it but I read it in your letter You said to a friend that you wish you were doin' better I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing I shouldn't have done it but I read it in your letter You said to a friend that you wish you were doin' better I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing You don't ever have to Be stronger than you really are When you're lyin' in my arms, and, honey You don't ever have to Act cooler than you think you should You're brighter than the brightest stars I'll pick you up If you come back to America Just hit me up 'Cause this is crazy love I'll catch you on the flipside If you come back to California You should just hit me up We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever how far We'll hit up all the old places We'll have a party We'll dance 'til dawn I'll pick up all of your folks and all of your Rolling Stones Your favorite liquor off the top-shelf I'll throw a party All night long -------Lana Del Rey

California (Lana Del Rey)
You don't ever have to Be stronger than you really are When you're lying in my arms, baby You don't ever have to Go faster than your fastest pace Or faster than my fastest cars I shouldn't have done it but I read it in your letter You said to a friend that you wish you were doin' better I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing I shouldn't have done it but I read it in your letter You said to a friend that you wish you were doin' better I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing You don't ever have to Be stronger than you really are When you're lyin' in my arms, and, honey You don't ever have to Act cooler than you think you should You're brighter than the brightest stars I'll pick you up If you come back to America Just hit me up 'Cause this is crazy love I'll catch you on the flipside If you come back to California You should just hit me up We'll do whatever you want, travel wherever how far We'll hit up all the old places We'll have a party We'll dance 'til dawn I'll pick up all of your folks and all of your Rolling Stones Your favorite liquor off the top-shelf I'll throw a party All night long -------Lana Del Rey
This is one of my favorite songs. Since I'm going through certain emotions and time where I can relate to this song, I thought maybe I can share it with you guys. The lyrics are bit altered here
