Q&A
Los Angeles Waltz Lyrics
I've been sitting here patiently
I've been talking to myself
Trying to shake that sinking feeling
Wishing I was somebody else
And I know it's not easy
When you don't get what you deserve
You can say that you love me
But that's not what I've heard
Tonight in LA
Tonight in LA
Well, it's got to be that way
Tonight in LA
Maybe I'll get right outta here
All the way back to Turnpike Lane
Find me a girl who can calm me right down
It's been such a fucked up year
And I know it's not easy
When you don't get what you deserve
You can say that you love me
But that's not what I've heard
Tonight in LA
Tonight in LA
Well, it's got to be that way
Tonight in LA
Maybe I'll get myself together
Or fall to pieces and run back home
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
I'm tired of being alone
I was on Mullholland Drive
with the radio on
They played Augustus Pablo
and the Kings of Leon
We sing, We know it's not easy
When you don't get what you deserve
You can say that you love me
But that's not what I've heard
Tonight in LA
Tonight in LA
Well, it's got to be that way
Tonight in LA
And I think of you
How we own each other
I think of you
How we own each other
Own each other
Tonight in LA
Tonight in LA
Tonight in LA
Tonight in LA
Tonight in LA
Tonight in LA
Miles from the inner city
We're far from the Milky Way
And it's got to be that way
Kinski's on Broadway
And home's a million miles away, away, away
You've met your match
Stars catch your eyes
You've tried I'll bet
You've met your match
You burn like fire
I hide, you love
You trust your nerve
You burn like fire
I steal, I lie
I tried the thrill
You feel, you love
You steal, you lie
And love you still
Like me you try
You've cried I bet
You've met your match
I've been talking to myself
Trying to shake that sinking feeling
Wishing I was somebody else
When you don't get what you deserve
You can say that you love me
But that's not what I've heard
Tonight in LA

I really do like this song especially the ending
Its lovely
Not the ending, the nice guitar bit that comes a bit before the ending, the second to last paragraph of lyrics bit
what a good song :D
but, io think the lyrics are Miles from the inner city
not Miles from the inner city
hahaha kings of leon
oh - just reaised! i mean ''mars and the usa''
Something about the line 'i think of you,how we own eachother' just makes me almost well up!It's just...painfully romantic,and the ending is beautiful...
This song is amazing. The title seems cryptic at first but it really does sum up the song there is little else to be said. The guitar bit is excellent but I would agree the ending is outstanding - the best outro ever - and overwhelming.

Also quite interesting when you spell out the syllables there's a lot of symmetry, 4 by 4 by 4, and the rhyming is quite different.

It's hard to be absolutely sure but I think it actually goes: "I hide your love" instead of "I hide, you love" "You build me up" instead of "You feel, love" "And love me still"...
