Used to watch you walk into this place You live the part no one is ever good at playing Always laughing about L.A. The trick is to laugh where know one has seen you cry Always need a place to lay your glass Like you need a good place to lie Or maybe just stretch the truth a bit sometime But now you come to hide The world outside is getting bright And you feel too dull to shine Now you come to hide Did you look too deep? Step too far into the light? Did you hear them laughing As you crawled back into your old life? Your hair combed back and your blue eyes sinking too Looks like something's coming over you You're holding on for dear life You're holding on too tight Always need a place to hang your hat A doorknob or someone else's lap The evening is gonna feel so trite By the end of the night But now you come to hide Comfort is just a myth That you only hear about on the news Now you come to hide In this place no one is here to blame In this place no feels ashamed In this place we're nowhere near the flame We just die a little more each day
