[Verse 1]
See them when they come by
Shadows in the nighttime
Drivin' just to unwind
And fade into the sunlight

[Refrain]
Californication, I don't need a break
I'm swervin' up the hills and I'm raisin' up the stakes
Maybe it's been me that's been gettin' in my way
Maybe it's some things that I gotta give away

[Chorus]
You can have it back, back, back, back, back
I never wanted that, that, that, that, that
You can have it back, back, back, back, back
I never wanted that, that, that, that, that

[Verse 2]
Kiss until we're tongue tied
Put too much on my life
Drivin' just to unwind
To fade into the sunlight

[Refrain]
Californication, I don't need a break
I'm swervin' up the hills and I'm raisin' up the stakes
Maybe it's been me that's been gettin' in my way
Maybe it's some things that I gotta give away

[Chorus]
You can have it back, back, back, back, back
I never wanted that, that, that, that, that
You can have it back, back, back, back, back
I never wanted that, that, that, that, that

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
You can have it back, back, back, back, back
I never wanted that, that, that, that, that
You can have it back, back, back, back, back
I never wanted that, that, that, that, that
You can have it back, back, back, back, back
I never wanted that, that, that, that, that
You can have it back, back, back, back, back
I never wanted that, that, that, that, that

[Outro]
You can have it all back
I never wanted none of that
I'm goin' to the light with that
I'm goin' to the light with that

A.CHAL

Alejandro Salazar, known as A.CHAL (short for Alejandro Chal), is a Peruvian singer-songwriter and producer. His sound is described as falling somewhere “in the negative space between hip hop, R&B, chillwave, and pop music.”

A.CHAL was born in Peru, then later moved with his family to New York when he was 4 years old. In 2010, he relocated to Los Angeles and started making music, but he started rapping when he was just 12 years old. His lyrics speak about struggles, dreams and relationships, and sometimes jump from English to Spanish.

A.CHAL’s debut EP Ballroom Riots was released in 2013. However, he distances himself from this project, saying he doesn’t consider it his first “because it was something I made that was mainly production. I did not yet immerse myself as a vocalist. I was too shy at the time.”
