Lyrics
L.A.
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, here's a story about a boy named J.
Nothing he did would ever get in my way
But there's still a long long way to go
I've only ever seen his face on film
I've only ever heard the lines he'd say
But still they won't get in my way
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring me down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I'm happy to be by myself
I don't need no one else
He's never ever seen my face before
I'm trying hard cause' this I can't ignore
But there's still a long long way to go
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring me down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But im happy to be by myself
I don't need no one else
All my dreams are built around your face
And this place
All the times of staring at the sun
You're the one
All my dreams are built around your face
And this place
All the times of staring at the sun
You're the one
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring me down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I'm happy to be by myself
I don't need no one else
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
Wake up one morning and your dreams are life
Never let them bring me down
Never let them tear me down
I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I'm happy to be by myself
I don't need no one else
