about

The first time I had plans to move to California, I had lots of expectations about what it would be like. All of THEM were wrong, too.

lyrics

I'm the awkward Cinderella,
or maybe Ugly Duckling.
In a month I'll be done waiting,
off finding out what luck brings.
On a coast, where I can swallow
everything I'm thinking about life.

I won't hold a grudge, no, not tonight.

All I wanted was ten minutes
to say goodbye, the right way.
Never cared for silent moments,
but I'm a pro, you might say.
I'll find ways in this anger
to ignore my vast pride, and make it right.

I won't think of her, no, not tonight.

Lately, I can't remember
the face she made when she said that she loved me.
Time fades that image so quietly.
I'm alone.

Now my eyes are frantic, searching,
for something as reminder
of a face supremely jaded,
except when she's beside her
self and soul forever shadowed.
But I refuse to linger, out of light.

I won't stand for dark.
I won't stand for dark.
I won't stand for dark, no, not tonight.
