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 

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 nights 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 hope for me out there 



Like a runaway 

Spend these nights counting stars 

Like a runaway 

And maybe I could call this home tonight
