  • These days my friends don't seem to know me
    Without my suitcase in my hand
    Where I am standing still
    I seem to disappear
    But maybe that's how I found you
    Maybe that's taught me exactly what I want
    Maybe meeting you so far away from home
    Is what makes it all so clear

    But you got that special kind of sadness
    You got that tragic set of charms

    That only comes from time spent in Los Angeles
    Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms

    When people ask me where I come from
    To see what that says about man
    I only end up giving bad directions
    That never lead them there at all
    It's something written in the head lights
    Is something swimming in my drink
    And if I were the moon
    It would be exactly where I fall

    Cause you got that special kind of sadness
    You got that tragic set of charms
    That only comes from time spent in Los Angeles
    Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms

    I used to think someone would love me
    For places I have been
    And the dirt I have been gathering
    Deep beneath my nails
    But now I know what I've been missing
    And I'm going home to make it mine
    And I'll be battening the hatches and pulling in the sails.

    But you got that special kind of sadness
    You got that tragic set of charms

    That only comes from time spent in Los Angeles
    Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms

    That only comes from time spent in Los Angeles
    Makes me wanna wrap you in my arms Writer/s: Taylor Goldsmith
