new city home

it rained on my new city home for days
i made a wish for more than what i've got
i feel so dumb the way i'm never satisfied
and how i never stop
took back a wish for california
blackmailed myself with my own mistrusted heart
so that every time i want to write or maybe call,
there are things you just don't know about

no one sees me here
the way i trace the streetlights around my room
waiting for a change to see me through

i was not free to just leave my hometown
but i knew you wished that i would go
it was the hard-curbed restraint
of your stuttered good-bye that told me so.

no one sees me here
the way i trace the streetlights around my room
waiting for a change to see me through
