Lyrics:
Close to my skin
Im falling in
Someone whos been

Sittin by the phone
Im left alone
In another zone

John says to live above hell and
My will is well

No one is waiting
For me to fail and
My will could sail, yeah

Its such a waste to be wasted
In the first place
I want to taste the taste of
Being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream
And when I walk alone I listen
To our secret theme

Your solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That can see right through
Ill take a fall and you know
That I'll do anything
I will for you

Sailin for the sun
Cause there is one
Knows where Im from
I care for you
I really do, I really do

Come closer now
So you can lie
Right by my side

Sittin alone in the sun
I wrote a letter to you
Gettin over myself, yeah

Your solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That can see right through
Ill take a fall and you know
That I'll do anything
I will for you
Your solar eyes are like
Nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close
That was made for you
Ill take a fall and you know
That I'll do anything
I will for you

Close to my skin
Someone whos been
Im falling in

Disasters are
Just another star
Fallin in my yard

John says to live above hell
My will is well

Long to be with
Someone to tell
I love your smell

John has said in an interview this is one of his favorite rhcp songs

[KangYeosangsBirthmark]

John and Josh performing together <3

[materialistadialectico]

The way John uses silence in this song is brilliant.

[MultiGeetesh]

This performance shows why RHCP should be a 5 member group ... Sad that Josh left but excited for John's return !

[gabrielluizja]

This performance is the biggest proof that it would be possible to have John and Josh together in the band.

[tara]

Anthony's vocals here are spot on

[bradolf_tuckleberry]

John says to live above hell, and my will is well.

[davidecarlini]

Why in the universe this masterpiece is not currently on setlists.

[leiqaz]

Just imagine man... This 5-piece could have been a thing again. But we are all just left euphoric for John's return and confused about Josh's departure.

[NickShillitoMusic]

How they write music like this just blows me away. There is such musical depth to this song it's just incredible, one of my two favourite songs on Californication. This was the Chilis at their absolute peak.

[geralobo]

Why isn't this way? All five together... so fucking good. Anthony on vocals, Flea on bass, Chad on drums, John on guitar and Josh on base guitar... :D

[youhavetogoback]

2:56 Holy fuck. How can a 5 second solo take me away. Incredible talent.

[seek]

Powerfull drum
Powerfull guitar
Powerfull bass
Powerfull voice
This is RHCP!!!

[user]

0:41 this tiny piece is precious in some spiritual sense, the way they both John and Josh shaking their heads and this pure smile of young Josh, just 100% of Josh’s happiness and pleasure in this few seconds and i feel it watching this from another continent after 16 years since this show was played

[johnny]

This song gives me chills - probably my favorite RHCP song and that's saying a LOT

[hps]

Underrated song with badass live performance

[kylefrigo]

It's such waste to be wasted in the first place, I wanna taste the taste of being face to face with common grace

[wa]

1:03 you can hear Josh Klinghoffer's vocals. He and JF are harmonizing quite well! Very interesting because in the studio version the background vocals already resemble that of Josh Klinghoffer's, at least to me.

[tommychisholm]

So good seeing josh and john in one place

[luciealie]

I was there. It was one of best show I was ever been. Full Moon and blueberry pancakes after show in park where fans start singing. Never forget. And of course this song and Flea singing the Pea song and plays trumpet.
