Architecture of a picture perfect façade Little did I know the moment was gone The bay broke my heart, on the road again Heading back home to Los Angeles A fallen city with a permanent fixture of bliss With a sky so dark from the touch of heaven's kiss I've been staring so long at this world's abyss I've forgot to locate the feelings that I missed The angels ignited my wistful residence I returned a reply in full resonance Once again it looks like I've been led astray I'd shoot a hole through the sky if it bled the day Dusted off dreams ripe with decay A snow globe that melted on a sunny day A picturesque feeling that I've put away As I took the train back home to L.A A sign from the heavens that we let fade Just like it was a Polaroid picture memory I sang the blues to the tune of my misery Threw in a groove and got this melody I left the trees and the leaves for the sound of the sea Got tired of the breeze and came back to the city Measured my chances like the lives of a cat I'm on my last one so there's no going back I found in you what I had always lacked A sense of stability that I never had I would've given you the world and that's a fact But it's little too late now you blew your chance You saw in me what scared you the most A chance to settle down and become a ghost I've always been so afraid of ending up alone I've never embraced loneliness as my own But love isn't something that is set in stone I gave up and then I came back home Los Angeles (x44)
