Stranded In Los Angeles

She said, "there are things about you i don't really understand"

I am drinking in the afternoon

Got whiskey on my breath

And as i walk through greenwich village

With a suitcase full of clothes

I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go

Yes i'm blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go

Will you come for me on days like this when i am broken down?

'cause i've been strangled by an emptiness that's still choking me now

I have prayed for absolution that won't ever come around

So if you love me

Won't you please forgive me now?

Then i try to call my mother

But she's not around to talk

So i wander through the fading day

Oblivious and lost

Yes i know i'm getting older

Chasing time that slips away

Point my headlights towards the interstate

It's time for my escape

Point my headlights towards the interstate

It's time for my escape

I am sorry for the things i've done

Don't try to let you down

In my dreams at night i hear your voice

And i'm shaken by the sound

Now i'm stranded in los angeles and you're all i think about

So if you love me

Won't you please forgive me now?

I hope there's a million stars above you

And everything you need

I hope it finds you

Every breath you breathe

Hope it comes easy

I hope it's easy

I've got a picture in my wallet of a girl i used to know

And another of my family

It's been too long since i've been home

Now i'm waiting on a train

Where i'll end up, god only knows

Maybe i'll make my way back to her

But i guess i probably won't

Maybe i'll make my way back to her

But i guess i probably won't

You are somewhere far away from me

I'm here all by myself

Through the space between the two of us

Wish i had something else

'cause i'd surrender up most anything if i thought it'd help somehow

So if you love me

Won't you please forgive me now?

If you love me

Won't you please forgive me now?
