Straight out the gate, she was a dancer
Right out the state of Indiana
She couldn't stay, they don't command her
She wanted answers, she wanted answers
I wanna know where you go to show your secret face
Where the wildflowers grow and they don't feel out of place
Where you're safe, where you're gold
And I can see the future in these hills
In the glitter in your tears
I can see your heart reflected off that disco ball
Writin' down your next confession on the bathroom wall
While you're hidin' underneath your makeup, I still see you cry
California holds her breath tonight
At a bar on the coast
And you're flyin' with your kind, but you're still so alone
And you ask the mirror: Why? Tell me, why is it so?
When you're dancing toe to toe with things you fear
It's blurry and unclear, but
I can see your heart reflected off that disco ball
Writin' down your next confession on the bathroom wall
While you're hidin' underneath your makeup, I still see you cry
California holds her breath tonight
California holds her breath tonight
California holds her breath tonight
California holds her breath tonight
California holds her breath tonight
California holds her breath tonight
California holds her breath tonight
