LA Story

[Verse 1]
Do you remember when the man said
"It's the currency of loneliness:
25 bedrooms for one single double bed"?
Do you remember when the man said
"Snow storms in mid-July?"
Driver license fakery
And your dashboard looking like a bakery
And the cortege bluer than a swimming pool club
And your quarters lying in the sun above your home

[Chorus]
As she was in the past
But still on your mind
However hard you run
You can't leave you behind

And money makes pеople
And tears them apart
And lifе could be perfect
If it only had a heart

And I only wanna be the one
To take you to a place you know
Cupcakes in the rain in a secondhand tuxedo
Just before the credits roll

[Verse 2]
Do you remember when the man said
"Your head It's just a big balloon?"
They blow up until it fills the room
And suddenly they got somewhere to be
Do you remember in Montreal?
Chasing the shadows all across the wall
Thinking about I never made the call
'Cause you just can't trust yourself, no
There's a lost sun setting like a neon nectarine
It's like everybody knows, but they just don't intervene

[Chorus]
And she was in your past
But still on your mind
However hard you run
You can't leave you behind

And Money makes people
And tears them apart
And life could be perfect
If it only had a heart

And I only wanna be the one
To take you to a place you know
Cupcakes in the rain in a secondhand tuxedo
Just before the credits roll

[Outro]
Country-swaying people keep saying
"You could be the best of all time"
Big farmer poppin', purple drink sloppin'
Join in that illustrious line
Hollywood they'll get you in the end
Amen
Amen
