Damn near everyone gets to fall in love  and everyone seems happy too  They've all got plans   and success in time  But all I want  well it's nothing new    Los Angeles  take back my tears  from everyone that I've known  Los Angeles  please clear these wasted years  so I can breathe on my own  Hear the music inside  Hear my music inside  I've been waiting for you  Los Angeles    Damn near everything is such a drag  when you wake to see that you're still damn here  These same old bars and their apathy  They've got to get me somewhere and set me free    Los Angeles  take back my tears  from everyone that I've known  Los Angeles  please clear these wasted years  so I can breathe on my own  Hear the music inside  Hear my music inside  I've been waiting for you  Los Angeles    Los Angeles  take back my tears  from everyone that I've known  Los Angeles  please clear these wasted years  so I can breathe on my own  Hear the music inside  Hear my music inside  I've been waiting for you  Los Angeles    Los Angeles  I want all of this and more  Los Angeles  I want all of you and more    these lyrics are submitted by john_c
