Lyrics

[Verse 1]

These days, my friends don't seem to know me

Without my suitcase in my hand

And when I'm standing still

I seem to disappear

[Verse 2]

But maybe that's how I found you

Maybe that's taught me exactly what I want

Maybe meeting you this far away from home

Is what makes it all so clear

[Chorus]

Because you got that special kind of sadness

You got that tragic set of charms

That only comes from time spent in Los Angeles

Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms

[Verse 3]

When people ask me where I come from

To see what that says about a man

I only end up giving bad directions

That never lead them there at all

[Verse 4]

It's something written in the headlights

It is something swimming in my drink

And if I were the moon

It would be exactly where I'd fall

[Chorus]

'Cause you got that special kind of sadness

You got that tragic set of charms

That only comes from time spent in Los Angeles

Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms

[Verse 5]

I used to think someone would love me

For all the places that I've been

And the dirt that I've been gathering

Deep beneath my nails

[Verse 6]

But now I know what I've been missing

And I'm going home to make it mine

And I'll be battening the hatches

And pulling in the sails

[Chorus]

'Cause you got that special kind of sadness

You got that tragic set of charms

That only comes from time spent in Los Angeles

Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms

[Outro]

You got that special kind of sadness

You got that tragic set of charms

That only comes from time spent in Los Angeles

Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms
