Like a Runaway

I can't get this tune out of my head. The melodies just flow so...right. To my ears anyway.

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

[Chorus: ]

Like a runaway, spend these night 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
I 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'm bigger than this place
And so far from alone

[Chorus]

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, out there
