Los Angeles

From the moment that I saw you

I saw the start and the end of me

Maybe that’s why I stayed

Maybe it made no difference to leave

I was your match, honey

Just waiting to light up the dark

Like so many others

Hungry to feel your spark

I found coolness in your eyes

Your touch was a sweet relief

The water I was chasing

Since the rivers all turned to steam

Deep down I knew

It’d be the end of me

But what a beautiful way

To go up in flames

And I’ve been crying out for rain to wash away the ash

But angels can’t hear me in Los Angeles

Land cleansed by the fires

Same way you burned right through me

Smoke rising higher

Signals I’ve been sending up for weeks

Baby these nights run hot

But I shiver in the heat

Feel my body shake

Are you a fever dream

And I’ve been crying out for rain to wash away the ash

But angels can’t hear me in Los Angeles

 

Oh no

Let the fire wash over

Let the flames flicker and burn

We rise up from the dust

And to the dust we will return

Let the fire wash over

Let the flames flicker and burn

We rise up from the dust

And to the dust we will return

Let the fire wash over

Let the fire wash over

Let the fire wash over

Let the fire wash over

I’ve been crying out for rain to wash away the ash

But angels can’t hear me in Los Angeles
