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
