Cali

Running away never felt so good.
Until I found it was following me wherever I stood
It doesn’t matter where you are or what you see,
If you’re not here, I’m not where I want to be

People are laughing and crying in song
They’re feeling so right even when things are so wrong
I could do that too, if I really tried
But would anyone here really care if I died?

In a city so big, I’m in the cold all alone
Even the homeless have friends to make this place a home
I call to say hi, but you’re breaking up bad
what’s wrong with me, how can this sunshine make me sad?

I get to this point, this point of no return
Now I’m starting to see, I was sent here to learn
to understand the difference of life and fairness
to witness what it’s like to be at the hands of the careless

Once this is known, all can be forgotten
If I can’t get it out of my head, it’ll put me in a coffin
Out in the night, I’m stripped of all might
No desire to stick out these hours until we see the light

Running away never felt so good.
Until I found it was following me wherever I stood.
