This song was written towards the end of my time in Topanga Canyon. I wanted to have something on the album with a real California flavor that spoke to the throwback qualities of living in the canyon. I remember going into the session with Kevin and Sam with California Dreamin as a reference track. Canyon moon is a story about a girl who loses herself in this idyllic, west coast fantasy world and has to get out. The theme of escape is one I've always enjoyed writing about and there is something haunting about this track and it's lack of resolution that I find really charming. 

LYRICS
The sun ran out on a cold October
Somewhere under the canyon moon
Camera jammed in a slow exposure
California in her rear view

She couldn’t handle another season
Another ocean of fiction blue
Said a prayer to a dashboard Jesus,
Death Valley and worn out shoes

Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The sun ran out on a cold October
She disappeared, she disappeared

Take all your troubles, put them to bed
Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
Shot like a bullet, don’t know the way
The ricochet, kind of got away from you

The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
Marching band in a high school dream
Little town and a faded beauty
They still remember when she was queen

Then the road turned into desert everywhere
The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
She disappeared, she disappeared

Sour
Sweet as rain
Leaves a stain

Power
Struggle of the heart
You can't tear apart the blame

Now i know that hello is a show for a sweet goodbye
No tears to cry

Which one of us set on fire?
Cause we both went up in smoke
Which one of us cut the wire?
Ain’t no bottom to this hole

Coward
Burnin the page
Rose from the flames

Flowers 
Tossed to the wind
End to begin again

Now i know that hello is a show for a sweet goodbye
No tears to cry

Which one of us set on fire?
Cause we both went up in smoke
Which one of us cut the wire?
Ain’t no bottom to this hole

Would you save me
I’ll save you
We can save ourselves

Which one of us set on fire?
Cause we both went up in smoke
Which one of us cut the wire?
Ain’t no bottom to this hole
