La Jolla Lyrics
*Dialing tone*
[Verse 1]
You know it takes a lot to move me
So if you figure it out, tell me
I'll trace figures on your smile lines
Work a formula to cure me
[Verse 2]
And I'm lonely
There I said it
Nine million people
I always seem to add them up
[Verse 3]
I could go away
I could pack my things and be gone before you wake
You know I've tried hard to love me too
It always seems to fall in through
[Verse 4]
Maybe one day I'll live in La Jolla
Drinking cocktails out over the water
My own personal sunset
To give each day its own diploma
You know, it's funny
Amid my backseat taxi jaunts
I'm trying to ignore the skyline
So I don't figure out where you
About
“La Jolla” is about a man who doesn’t feel good enough and has distant dreams of leaving to start fresh somewhere different. Sung over a moderately fast guitar beat, the song picks up from the events of “Since I Saw Vienna” to talk about dealing with feelings of inadequacy and loneliness before slowly transitioning into desiring to move away from everything.
The title references the Californian city of La Jolla, which is known for its seaside attractions.

“Losing Face” is soft of about just wanting to leave the UK, wanting to go travelling, and you know it’s something— basically, it’s a continuity of “Since I Saw Vienna”. You know, gotta keep moving, gotta keep zooming around.
