"Los Angeles" lyrics

Every time I think that I want this, I feel you turn me back
Called me, then you couldn't be honest, I couldn't handle that
You never handed me, you never handed me the truth

Counting up the cards and the scars I kept
'Cause I hated who I was in Los Angeles
Up in Los Angeles, up in Los Angeles with you

So leave me to the memories I still have yet to lose
Of me and you, convincing me to stay, but I refuse

I'm running out of words like medication
Withdrawing from the pain of dedication
Sweating out the years of conversation with you

Days get a little bit shorter, and now that we're always travelling
Life gets a little harder, and time is all that you have with me
It's all you had with me, it's all you had with me to lose

Back when I gave you that record, you said you weren't a fan of his
When you were living in Brooklyn, you said that you'd never dance to this
But in Los Angeles, but in Los Angeles you do

So leave me to the memories I still have yet to lose
Of me and you, convincing me to stay, when I refuse

I'm running out of words like medication
Withdrawing from the pain of dedication
Sweating out the years of conversation with you
Up in Los Angeles, up in Los Angeles with you

(Up in Los Angeles, up in Los Angeles with you)
(Up in Los Angeles, up in Los Angeles with you)
(Up in Los Angeles, up in Los Angeles with you)
