i 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
cuz 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 night 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 any hope for me out there.

like a runaway, spend these night counting stars like a runaway.
and maybe i could call this home tonight...
