am more than you know,
street lights and open roads
I am more than a face,
stuck living in one place
So call me California
Call me what you will
Cause I am bigger
than this place
And so far from alone

I don't believe in your hate,
cause these scars are gonna fade
So pour me out like water,
and soak me up like rain

Like a runaway
Spend these nights
counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call
this home tonight
Like a runaway

I whisper all these secrets,
to a blank page on a line
Said we don't speak like lovers,
and my words are dripping with wine
So call me California
Call me what you will
Cause I am bigger than this place
And so far from alone

Like a runaway
Spend these nights
counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call
this home tonight
Like a runaway

When burning bridges
won't come down
Like symphonies
without a sound
I spend these nights
counting stars
And wonder if there's hope
for me out there

Like a runaway
Spend these nights
counting stars
Like a runaway
And maybe I could call
this home tonight
