The L.A. Song Lyrics
She drives down on Sunset
With the windows down
Just so she can let it in
She knows he's far-gone now
But there still are pieces
Pieces there still left of him
He uses love like a bullet from a gun
She's careful like a surgeon
Everywhere he goes they all know to run
But she can't help but love him
Love him
There is a picture sitting by her bed
Her reflection in his face
She has been meaning, meaning to move it
But it's always been his place
He uses love like a bullet from a gun
She's careful like a surgeon
Everywhere he goes they all know to run
But she can't help but love him
Love him
City of angels, everyone is sleeping
4 am and she's awake
She is moving, moving that picture
Someone will fill that space
Someone will fill that space
With the windows down
Just so she can let it in
She knows he's far-gone now
But there still are pieces
Pieces there still left of him
She's careful like a surgeon
Everywhere he goes they all know to run
But she can't help but love him
Love him
Her reflection in his face
She has been meaning, meaning to move it
But it's always been his place
She's careful like a surgeon
Everywhere he goes they all know to run
But she can't help but love him
Love him
4 am and she's awake
She is moving, moving that picture
Someone will fill that space

i went to a concert of his, and he explained what i had thought the song to mean...it's about a woman letting go of a man that was dangerous to love, but she kept holding on. now, she's "moving that picture", literally and figuratively - moving the picture off the desk, but he's out of the picture for her life, too. beautiful melody and lyrics!!
i love dave barnes!
I wish I knew what this song is about. Obviously, it's about a man leaving a woman. I think it's about the healing process she's going through. He left, she still loves him, but she's moving on.
He mentioned somewhere he wrote this song about a female friend of his
Here is a youtube video where Dave explains this song:
