Space Instead
Escape to Celestial Dreams: Margot Liotta's 'Space Instead' Reflection
Lyrics
California's gone by now
California has changed significantly or is no longer the same.
Venice beach it ripped at the seams

Now it's all torn down

Deep blue long island sound

They painted my old house yellow but I prefer brown

You won't even notice if I'm here anymore

Will people ever make sense
Rhetorical question about whether people will ever make logical or understandable decisions.
And will I ever get used to things that I don't understand

So I'll hang stars from my ceiling and I'll just pretend
