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

'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

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 bridgs wont 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
