Godspeed, Los Angeles

Godspeed, Los Angeles

Go burn up in the west coast sunshine

Drown your blue in the ocean tide

Tell yourself that you don’t feel a thing in my arms tonight

If there’s gold in California

Hope it’s all that you thought it would be

You need something to save your soul and it’s not me

You turned thirty last year and you got scared

So you quit guitar and you cut your hair

And your smile and your love

Don’t come easy now

It’s like you’re wound so tight

You ain’t ever comin’ undone

But in your darkest night

You can’t ever outrun

The beat of your heart and all your regrets

So I hope you fight to the death for your happiness

Godspeed, Los Angeles

When you get to the great wide open

When the desert meets the sea

I hope you finally find the space to breath

I hope angels dance around you

And you feel the sweetest peace

We know you can’t have it sleeping next to me

Oh, it’s like you’re wound so tight

You ain’t ever coming undone

But in your darkest night

You can’t ever outrun

The beat of your heart and all your regrets

So I hope you fight to the death for your happiness

Godspeed, oh, Los Angeles

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh,

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh,

It’s like you’re wound so tight

You ain’t ever coming undone

But in your darkest night

Oh, you can’t ever outrun

The beat of your heart and all your regrets

So I hope you fight to the death for your happiness

Godspeed, oh, Los Angeles

Los Angeles
