Identity

Folder: 
2007

Drove through Albuquerque, I-35

Headed towards California

Trying to find a piece of life to call my own

Cause, as of lately, it's been bare as stone

And, I know there has to be more offered out there

Other than hating a job you can hardly stand

So, I left home in pursuit of dreaming and finding my better half



No, you're not it

I hate to break the news: You're not even close

Cause, what I'm searching for

Is more that I can find in a girl

And, what I'm searching for

Is a place I can let my soul unfurl

And, a place where I can feel comfortable in my own skin



Speed limits are never quick enough

To get you where you want to be

And, it's always too hot in the summer

To escape with the top down

So, you flip on the AC and hide yourself

Behind the blackest windows the law will allow

Just so you can escape your old identity



Here I come California

Sing me a song to forget about

How much I'm going to miss Oklahoma

Come on, sing a song to my soul

Come on, California

It's just me and you now



Months later you realize how good you had it

And, how much you dislike the person you were aiming to become

Once you realize you were aiming to be that person for someone else
