"Stay In LA" lyrics

"Stay In LA"

It's okay if you wanna stay in LA
Even if it's not what you wanted
Even if it's not what you thought it would be

It's alright, it's okay
That we've stayed in LA
Up until now, there was no reason
To leave
But things changed overnight
We assumed that they might
I'm not gonna sit around and wait
For my turn to head to the light

You want somebody there when you're all alone
With nowhere to go when you have a home
You want someone to call but won't pick up the phone tonight
You get a moment of peace when you're falling asleep
When you're playing it back and you know what you need
And the fear is gone, finally free to decide

What will you decide? What will you decide?
What will you decide? What will you decide?
What will you decide?

It's okay if you wanna stay in LA
Even if it's not what you wanted
Even if it's not what you thought it would be
They're just dreams
Only we can know what that means
Do we even know what we wanted?
Do we even know what we thought it could be?

You were right, I was wrong
We've been friends for too long
Something that I never thought I'd have to say
And didn't think could be a bad thing
I don't know how to change
Or acknowledge the pains
I keep going back and forth and forth and back
And it's just always the same

Sometimes you don't know what the next place you'll go
When you can't fall asleep on the night of the show
When you leave the next day and you know it's okay
And you wanted to try but you threw it away

It was such a good ride, such a good ride
We're all hypocrites and that can't be denied
When you're out on your own and you're feeling alone
There's not much to say but it turns out gold, and you break down

LA
LA

It's okay if you wanna stay in LA
Even if it's not what you wanted
Even if it's not what you thought it would be
They're just dreams
Only we can know what that means
Do we even know what we wanted?
Do we even know what we thought it could be?
