I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I don't know what it's like to land
And not race to your door
I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I'm not sure that I ever really could
Hold on to your hotel key
of your bedroom neighborhood
We're sleep walkin' in Hollywood

I'm gonna steer clear
I burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cause I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you there
So I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore

I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore
I get lost on the boulevard at night
Without your voice to tell me
"I love you, take a ride"
The ten and the two is the loneliest sight

I'm gonna steer clear
I burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cause I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you
I'm gonna steer clear, oh yeah
I burn up in your atmosphere
I'm gonna steer clear
Cause I'd die if I saw you
I'd die if I didn't see you there
See you there

I think I'm gonna stay, gonna stay...
All the street lights say nevermind, nevermind
All the canyon lines say nevermind
Sunset says we see this all the time
Nevermind, never you mind..

Wherever I go
Whatever I do
I wonder where I am
In my relationship to you

Wherever you go
Wherever you are
I watch your life play out (2nd time says: "I watch that pretty life of yours")
In pictures from afar

Ooo Ooooo...
