This Is Kingston Not LA

from Demo by Losing Sleep

lyrics

So long to 'sidewalks' and this sprawling city. So long.
To all the cloudless days, the never-ending feeling of escape.
We wore your tires out as we let our guards down.
I know if we had the fuel, we'd be long gone now.

So don't take this lightly, I stayed up all night,
To find a way to say,
California keep her safe while I'm away.

You moved into your new apartment, somewhere on 8th.
I met you in the sunlight. I took the train.
They nearly kicked you out, of your new house.
We couldn't keep our voices down.
We sing everything out loud. Always. Everything. Out loud.

So don't take this lightly, I stayed up all night,
To find a way to say,
California keep her safe while I'm away.

I learnt all the American names, to keep myself from going crazy.
It was easier than trying to explain. You kept me from going crazy.

You kept me from going crazy.

We met in a parking lot/car park, said goodbye in an airport.
I guess that's what you get. For living life in transit.

I can feel the sad songs creeping up on me.
I can feel the cold nights nipping at my heels.
