Teitur - You Never Leave L.A. lyrics

I boarded the plane, thought I'd said all my goodbyes Been no regrets, only sorry how time flies A man next to me, says the city is so shallow Me I'm looking down, I see a city full of souls And I can hardly wait To see those lights again A part of me remains I'm forever changed You're always almost there It's a love and hate affair I believe them when they say You never leave LA I retraced the steps, of all the stars on the boulevard No one thinks about, what it took to get that far Others who have tried, they were only left there hanging And all those broken dreams, could have filled up Laurel Canyon These California skies Put fire in my eyes And I could drive for miles With the ocean by my side You're always almost there It's a love and hate affair I believe them when they say You never leave LA 39000 feet, high above the ground If I were in the driving seat I could have turned this plane around And I can't hardly wait To see those lights again A part of me remains I'm forever changed You're always almost there It's a love and hate affair I believe them when they say You never leave LA
