Goodnight l.a.

I said "goodnight L.A."

cause I'm awake in my room
I been up for 38 hours
and it don't look like sleep's coming soon

cause I could break like a bird
or I could swallow the sea
it seems like the daylight is coming soon
and no one is watching but me

but I don't mind the dark discovering the day
cause the night
is a beautiful bright blue and grey

and what brings me down now is love
cause I can never get enough
and it's a dangerous time for a heart on a wire
shuttled from station to station noisily
not knowing why

so I put my head on the ground
and the sky is a wheel
spinning these days into things that I've lost
but you can keep all the years

but I don't mind the days gone rolling away
cause this sunlight
feels warm on my face today

and what brings me down now is love
cause I can never get enough of love
