Runaway

(album: Thriving Ivory - 2008)

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
