La La Lost You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While I'm on Sunset, are you on the subway?
While I drive, are you gettin' on the L-train?

I mean, Manhattan's nice, but so are Malibu nights
You would know if you stayed
You would know if you put up a fight
Your toes turn blue in winter, I'm gettin' red, rum
Does the trick for all of the things left unsaid, I'm
Missin' our drunken 2 A.M. strolls in K-Town
Now you're chasin' fake highs in the Upper West Side

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And fuckin' on Brooklyns in Brooklyn
Your Chelseas in Chelsea
Hope that eases the pain, so you remember to miss me
And you sold your car, now you walk for miles
Bet your feet feel numb
(Crosswalks in my mind are shaky, so please hold on tight)

[Chorus]
All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
In the city of angels, in the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
In the city of angels
[Verse 2]
Summer's endin' now and the nights are coolin' down
Remember last winter when we would drive around?
Silverlake, Hollywood, pretty little white lies got me good
Thought this was love, I was misunderstood, mmm

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Feelin' low on the low, drivin' through NoHo
If I'm honest, I'd call, but I'm trying to let go
And I hope you're happy, livin' life in taxis
But you'll always have me, you'll always have me

[Chorus]
All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
In the city of angels, in the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
In the city of angels
