Audrey Mills - LA, Alone

You can't spell lacking without LA
When I'm out here I feel I lack in every way
I like being around folks who are ugly
Because those folks don't look at me too smugly

I wish I could go to NYC or home to Houston
Where it all feels less constructed despite the construction
This city makes me want to get a nose job
I have never felt so out of place for so long

I can't stand LA
I thought that this was the life I want
But I might not be able to stay
If you were here with me
I could stick around a while
With the help of your company

I wish you were beside me in this gridlock traffic
Because all our conversations have the same gymnastic
Quality about them, how they spiral
Into tangents, hypotheticals, and eye-rolls
I want to take you to the pier at night
If we swim we'll run the risk of growing extra eyes
But I think we'd still slip into those dark waters
And embrace whatever dangers they might offer

I can't stand LA
I thought that this was the life I want
But I might not be able to stay
If you were here with me
I could stick around a while
With the help of your company

Oh it's a simple happiness
A deep, intrinsic happiness
I'm joyful, and I'm tired, and I'm warm, when I'm with you
It's a simple happiness
A deep, intrinsic happiness
I'm joyful, and I'm tired, and I'm warm
