disconnected thoughts on love while stuck in los angeles rush hour traffic

When it's love, you'll know it
At least that's what they told me
I'm so lonely when you're leaving
But you're not the one I want

I'm driving home, the traffic's heavy
I can feel it in my chest
Can we just rest here for a moment
Before we turn back into strangers, oh?

And we drive in silence, 'cause we got nothing left to say
Just watch the time pass away
I hate L.A., I'm fucking sick and I miss the rain
I'll fade away, I need to find a new shade of grey

I don't wanna be glamorous or caught up in avarice
I just want you beside me when I come home, oh
I wanna write the kind of love song
That makes you wish that we were closer
And when it's over, I'd be brave enough to tell you

But I know you would tell me anything I wanted to hear
You'll be gone for a while, I'll rot away in here
In the morning, you'll be singing, dry away those tears
I'm begging you to stay and cutting off my ears

On a wire outside my window
There sit 100 swallows
And I know that if one flew
That 99 would follow
This world is hollow, our time is borrowed
So why not fall in love?

It'll only hurt for a minute
Soon after, we'll be gone, oh

But I know you would tell me anything I wanted to hear
You'll be gone for a while, I'll rot away in here
In the morning, you'll be singing, dry away those tears
I'm begging you to stay and cutting off my ears

And we drive in silence, 'cause we got nothing left to say
Just watch the time pass away
I hate L.A., I'm fucking sick and I miss the rain
I'll fade away, I need to find a new shade of grey

On a wire outside my window
There sit 100 swallows
And I know that if one flew
That 99 would follow
This world is hollow, our time is borrowed
So why not fall in love?
