I don't wanna go home, no
You can't make me
I've just settled in
And the weather's been so nice lately
I think getting on that plane, it might break me
I'll stay, a runaway
Pray that you don't chase me

Could find me hiding in a Trader Joe's
Could find me driving down on Melrose
There ain't no telling where I'm gonna go
But I know

If I'm leaving then I'm making a decision about
Everything I'm never ready to figure out
Easier when living with my head in the clouds
So whatever
I'm staying in America
Where I am limitless and living it up
You can call me crazy
Go on calling my bluff
Easier when here is where I feel like enough
So forever
I'm staying in America

(Staying in America)

Taking footage of Pasadena in sunlight
Bound to watch it over to recall what it felt like
When it was all possible
Rose-coloured glasses clear the roads
That lead to a version of me that I can't leave behind

Swear here I'm headed on the right track
I'll throw a tantrum on the tarmac
Kicking and screaming for the whole flight
‘Cause I know

If I'm leaving then I'm making a decision about
Everything I'm never ready to figure out
Easier when living with my head in the clouds
So whatever
I'm staying in America
Where I am limitless and living it up
You can call me crazy
Go on calling my bluff
Easier when here is where I feel like enough
So forever
I'm staying in America

Hmm, hmm
Staying in America
Hmm, hmm

Bury me in Santa Monica
You know Laurel Canyon has my heart
Nothing better than a brand new start
Or just a little longer being kept apart

'Cause in leaving I'll be making a decision about
Everything I'm never ready to figure out
Easier when living with my head in the clouds
So whatever
I'm staying in America
Where I am limitless and living it up
You can call me crazy
Go on calling my bluff
Easier when here is where I feel like enough
So forever
I'm staying in America

Ooo-oh, ooo-oh
Staying in America
Ooo-oh, ooo-oh
Staying in America
Ooo-oh, ooo-oh
Staying in America
Ooo-oh, ooo-oh
