Just before the spring comes

I start dreaming of California

I was only ever lonely but I think of it still

Super bloom wildflowers and motorcycle bars

I lost track of how many times he broke my heart

My mythology

My iridescent pearl

My chrysalis of promises

Yet to unfurl

I'm so used to running

But something's telling me stay

I'm so used to wanting

Someone who can't love me

But it's different this time

The sound of heaven when you say my name

Is drowning out the voices on the wind

Calling me away

Free of my vices, no longer spellbound

My eyes still full of stars but my feet on solid ground

Wild and reckless

I was singing to empty rooms

Praying the dream would save me

As I rode those subway trains

Drinking til the dawn appeared

A pink Manhattan sky

A mattress on the floor

And now you can't stop the years rolling by

My mythology

My iridescent pearl

My chrysalis of promises

Yet to unfurl

I'm so used to running

But something's telling me stay

I'm so used to wanting

Someone who can't love me

But it's different this time

The sound of heaven when you say my name

Is drowning out the voices on the wind

Calling me away

Free of my vices, no longer spellbound

My eyes still full of stars but my feet on solid ground

My mythology

My iridescent pearl

My chrysalis of promises

Yet to unfurl

I'm so used to running

But something's telling me stay

I'm so used to wanting

Someone who can't love me

But it's different this time

The sound of heaven when you say my name

Is drowning out the voices on the wind

Calling me away

Free of my vices, no longer spellbound

My eyes still full of stars but my feet on solid ground
