It's so catchy. I think it would be a good single at some point.

"Carousel"
"I Don't Want To Be A Bride"
"Dear California"

Although, I wouldn't mind this being second. It's quite different for Vanessa.

I was thinking the same thing!

I have a feeling this will be a Spring Street on this album aka she isn't gonna be performing this live unless it actually is released as a single.

But what I LOVE is how she incorporates this weird witchcrafty lines about belladonna and alchemy (No wonder she keeps using it in tweets)?
AMAZING.

I've always considered it to be a magic drug ;-)

I also just found out it is the name of a Stevie album :P "Bella Donna" ;)

any thoughts?
please add your thoughts.  ???



As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament
Weather in my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette
Dear California, it's been nice to know ya
Tell me will you miss me when I'm gone?

Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

This alchemy is making me suspicious
Oo, as if I slipped you some belladonna
That I crossed town to get, don't you know?
Yes, my grand friend checks it

Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea, it's my only hope
It's just me and my pup in the open road
But your face is like a paper cut to the heart
Slip away while you sleep

It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems

Just go, I'll go, don't cry
Don't go, don't go, you still cry
I don't cry

Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

Ever changing as the sea
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California
Would you love me as I leave?
Dear California





Just go, I'll go, don't cry
Don't go, don't go, you still cry
I don't cry

Paper-cut to the heart

Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
Would you love me as I leave?

I hear that line right before she jumps back in to the chorus.

To take things quite literally, a belladonna can be a homeopathic substance. Thinking of California though, I'm pretty sure it's some drug (pot maybe?). :P

I love the Belladonna reference :)

and the lyrics "your face is like a paper cut to the heart" are instantly a favourite - I definitely know that feeling, just seeing someone you love/d is a painful sting about what you've lost and what you miss.

It's this "whether" not "weather," right? Unless if she's being poetic and describing her thoughts as jumbled.

I don't see why it can't be "weather" tbh. It makes sense, since she's standing on the roof in California.

Do you think Bella Donna is a Stevie reference? Seeing that her album is titled that...it would make sense.
