california dreamin'

Misplaced, my heart

I am a body, my face

My hands, But

This is not living

 

I tell her I need to leave

The small town streets,

And dead end family ties

Are suffocating me until...

I look at her wide eyed,

Images of California sunshine -

I could even care less about your ex,

What are the odds?

And what is the point?

 

She has dreams,

But mine are larger

 

I can barely make room.
