lyrics

So I'm working out
So I'm keeping clean
Try to sing the sound
Of you changing me
Who I found

Thinking all the time
Of my future self
Picturing the shine
Something I can't help
Of you around

Now I'm starting to see
How you figure to me
Trying to think of a way to forget what I know
Like a coming of age
Like I'm breaking away
I've never been to LA, baby, not even close

Like I broke the law
What'd I get into
Tried to poke and prod
What'd you let me do
All alarms

Think you feel the same
In a tunnel, crushed
At the other end
I wouldn't worry much
'Cause you're the light
You're the light

Like a sip of the sea
What the body, it needs
Walking around in the sunshine, sand in my toes
But how will I know
When I land, where to go?
I've never been to LA, baby, not even close

The wind, she doesn't grab you by the arm, no
The rain, she falls so few and far apart, oh
But when I come I can't leave home all my sorrow
What do we do about that?
Tell me what do we do about that now?

I can honestly say
As I sit on the plane
Watching the hand-shaking pilots and entrances close
That I don't really know
How to get there alone
Can't even picture myself in the summery clothes
I've never been to LA, baby, not even close

I've never been to LA, and I might never go
