  • L.A. lights
    Never shine quite as bright as in the movies
    Still wanna go?
    'Cause something here
    In the way, in the way that we're constantly moving
    Reminds you of home

    So you're taking these pills for to fill up your soul
    And you're drinking them down with cheap alcohol
    And I'd be inclined to be yours for the taking
    And part of this terrible mess that you're making
    But me, I'm the catalyst

    When you say love, hmm
    Is a simple chemical reaction
    Can't say I agree
    'Cause my chemical, yeah, yeah
    Left me a beautiful disaster
    Still love's all I see

    So I'm taking these pills for to fill up my soul
    And I'm drinking them down with cheap alcohol
    And you'd be inclined to be mine for the taking
    And part of this terrible mess that I'm making
    But you, you're the catalyst

    And you'll be the vein, you'll be the pain
    You'll be the scar
    You'll be the road, rolling below
    The wheels of a car
    And all of my thoughts on
    God, don't know if I'm strong enough now
    You'll be the vein, you'll be the pain
    You'll be the
    Catalyst

    These L.A. Lights, no no
    They don't shine quite as bright as back in Frisco
    Do you wanna go?
    Still wanna go Writer/s: ANNA NALICK
