VERSE ONE
i thought i'd just hunker down
ride out the storm of the pain
you didn't know you could cause

but the boulder in my chest stuck around
when i looked at you, like a wall of rain
you put my life on pause

so i folded up my heart and put it away
so it wouldn't have to suffer another day
CHORUS 
i'm goin to santa cruz
tradin the city for the sun
nothin here i can use
don't need no pity, i need to run
i'll take a bus or take a train
either way, i'm leaving town
why's it all such fuss and pain
to mold a smile out of a frown
if i stay i'll have way too much to lose 
so i'm goin to santa cruz
VERSE TWO 
yeah at every corner that i turn
those buildings bring on the gloom

but it can't compare to the burn
you glow with whenever you enter the room

so i'd rather breathe deep in the dark
than be suffocated by your spark
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
i swear i'll never write another song
if you'd just say you'll come along
no i won't sing another single word
if there was even one you said you heard
CHORUS TWO
i'm goin to santa cruz
pack my pain and hit the road
the only choice left to choose
is to tear the scar you sewed
i'll take a bus or take a train
either way i'm leaving town
i can't even tell if the rain
is falling up or down
i know leaving this place is giving up my muse
but i'm goin to santa cruz
