Thriving Ivory

Runaway

Thriving Ivory


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
