You got me here, lying awake Lying awake, lying awake Hello LA! Through all the tears and time that it takes Lying awake, lying awake 'Til ever afters over (ever afters over) Until ever afters over (ever afters over) Hello LA! You got me here, lying awake Lying awake, lying awake ♪ Falling fast, falling hard Someone stumble, someone starve Breaking up, broken down Make a run for higher ground Form my wedge, by the hour Got me working for my dollars Got me working for my dollars all day Falling fast Just like a stone No direction to go In the wild, in the street Let my city comfort me Keep me on, tell my moment 'Til my ever afters over 'Til my ever afters over again Hello LA! You got me here, lying awake Lying awake, lying awake Hello LA!
