  • I wandered to L.A.
    Wandered to L.A.
    True story

    I wandered to L.A. hopin' to explore
    Little did I know, I'd find a little more
    Love at my hotel room door
    From the bed to the hotel room floor
    I wandered to L.A. hopin' to explore
    Little did I know, I'd find a little more
    Love at my hotel room door
    From the bed to the hotel room floor

    Maybe it's the love, maybe it's the drugs
    Maybe it's because my girlfriend is the plug
    Cocaine strums like guitar chords
    She loves drugs, she goes hardcore
    She's hidin' from the truth, it's under the rug
    Maybe it's because the lies, they fill the room
    You see the ghost on her front porch
    You see the blood at her front door
    We were doin' Xans in a Honda Accord
    Lookin' at the things that we couldn't afford
    Fantasies became reality
    But only for one of us

    I wandered to L.A. hopin' to explore
    Little did I know, I'd find a little more
    Love at my hotel room door
    From the bed to the hotel room floor

    Pillowtalkin' 'bout our future and our dreams
    Speakin' 'bout how life ain't really as it seems
    Reminiscin' 'bout the days you broke my heart
    Thankful that we worked it out, we come so far (come so far)
    Still, you gotta give me space and let me breathe (let me breathe)
    Still, you gotta give me lovin' that I need (that I need)
    Still, we gotta focus on the little things (little things)
    Never wanna end up how we used to be (used to be)
    And I don't wanna hear you say (say)
    That you don't want to be with me (be with me)
    Especially when you need some company (company)
    That's why I need you, comfort me (comfort me)

    I wandered to L.A. hopin' to explore
    Little did I know, I'd find a little more
    Love at my hotel room door
    From the bed to the hotel room floor
    Wandered to L.A. hopin' to explore
    Little did I know, I'd find a little more
    Love at my hotel room door
    From the bed to the hotel room floor

    Ooh, ooh
    I'm the elephant in the room
    Ooh, ooh
    My nightmares are startin' to come true Writer/s: Bernard Alexander Harvey, Jarad Anthony Higgins, Justin Drew Bieber, Louis Russell Bell, Omer Fedi
