1978 (Leave the Radio On) Lyrics
Please leave the radio on, and I do need
'Cause I been messing around, hanging around
In a world, but never my world
I'm stuck
And when it's all that I hear, when I go home (goin' home)
Heaven knows, more like nobody knows, lost in the place
In this world, it can't be my world
When she
Said something like "I don't want 'ya"
Said something like "Can't keep on thinking about 'ya"
Said something like
Is it like being alone, with someone there (are you there?)
But not here, and the wait up a shown, together or alone
Ever lost and never the world that
Of our lies
So, don't you worry 'bout love, but who don't love me
Ever more, and the moment to know, more you know
In my world, forever that world
Sounds wrong
Said something like "I don't love 'ya"
Said something like "Can't keep on thinking about 'ya"
Said something like
Said something like "I don't want 'ya"
Said something like "Can't keep on thinking about 'ya"
Said something like
You ever needed to know, what shall we do? Don't know
Ever but, and the paying around, always we found
That our world, was never our world then
And I don't think love must seem to find
And then we found
Our L.A. love
Oh-oh our L.A. love
Oh-oh our L.A. love
Oh-oh our L.A. love
Oh-oh
'Cause I been messing around, hanging around
In a world, but never my world
Heaven knows, more like nobody knows, lost in the place
In this world, it can't be my world
When she
Said something like "Can't keep on thinking about 'ya"
Said something like
But not here, and the wait up a shown, together or alone
Ever lost and never the world that
Of our lies
Ever more, and the moment to know, more you know
In my world, forever that world
Sounds wrong
Said something like "Can't keep on thinking about 'ya"
Said something like
Said something like "Can't keep on thinking about 'ya"
Said something like
Ever but, and the paying around, always we found
That our world, was never our world then
And I don't think love must seem to find
And then we found
Oh-oh our L.A. love
Oh-oh our L.A. love
Oh-oh our L.A. love
Oh-oh

The person speaking is still in shock over a difficult relationship breakup; he is no longer in the girl's world since she "said something like 'I don't want 'ya". By "p(l)aying around" the couple found that "[their] world" was actually not what they thought: "never our world then".
He begs for the listener to leave "the radio on", maybe it keeps him distracted from the immediate pain of lost love...
"L.A. love, oh-oh..."
