Dream that you might leave this place
Jump into a wave before it breaks
And sweeps what used to be
Sometimes I would lie awake
And wish that I could float atop the sea
The air so soft and sweet
I know you want to leave
These familiar streets
The city weeps
When the moon fades
There will be no light
If you'd be mine
You want to know what it'd be like
To live out in L.A.
And carve your name
Into the hall of fame
Baptize me in all your fire
Pretend this is a silver screen goodbye
Wet eyes in the moonlight
I know you want to leave
These familiar streets
The city weeps
When the moon fades
There will be no light
If you'd be mine
