lyrics

traffic's slow on sunset in the evening
walking by the swans in echo park
you always said this city had no meaning
'til it's your name up there, shining in the dark

look at me, i'm working for a living
watching you live out your wildest dreams
you'd think by now i'd learn to be forgiving
you always said i take things to the worst extremes

well i don't have much and maybe i'm to blame
you're walking down the streets of gold and fame
you win again but i'll be back around
you always said i land with both feet on the ground

wanna go where the weather won't get warmer
you can't even reach me on the phone
where every word has faded to a murmur
in a city that's entirely my own

well i'm headed out and giving up the game
someday soon they'll all forget my name
it won't be long til i hear of you again
but i'll be gone as i have never been

days are getting longer as i stay here
wonder if i'll make it out alive
sun is out and still the clouds won't clear
wish i could work to live and not survive
