This was written for someone I dated a few times in college back in the Midwest. She was attractive, bubbly and a complete flake. She would have fit into the West Coast quite nicely.

Lyrics
When you don't run away
When you care enough to stay
When I know you've changed your ways
That's the night I'll come back into your life
When you don't pull your disappearing act
When you don't need to handle me with tact
Don't you lie no more, I only want the facts
of your life, of your life
When you can look me in the eye
And you can give a reason why
When you would rather perch than fly
That's the night I'll come back into your life
When you throw away the games that you have found
When you set aside some time to stick around
When you lower your guard and listen to the sound
of your life, of your life
When you're tired of tryin' to cut me down to size
When you learn that lies can only lead to lies
When you take the time to stop and realize
It's your life, it's your life
When you don't run away
When you care enough to stay
When I know you've changed your ways
That's the night I'll come back into your life
