Are my love songs lies now that the love is gone?

There's the one about forever and

Loving you in a past life

Or whatever

The difference between us is when I sing it, I really mean it

But I guess I wasn't listening 'cause you always had the same questions

You've been chasing spirits

And staying up all night

You said if you don't rein it in

You're shaving ten years off your life

I tried to come to you, but you didn't like the way I asked

But there's nothing in LA for me, just a lonely singer at the beach

I could start a garden with the landlord

Something good and simple and worth staying in town for

I was pulling cards while you jumped the cattle guard

They say loving's hard

You've been chasing spirits

And I'm still chasing them lights

Now who is a bigger mystic

And who's winning a bar fight?
