Let's meet at the corner of Sunset and Fairfax Pretend that the traffic is why we were late Drop twenty bucks to park the car Order sushi at the bar And talk about dreams while we try not to stare at our plates
I'll pretend I'm cool Maybe you'll pretend you believe it I might play the fool We both play the part till we're leaving
This is love in L.A. No one's making you stay Back home you were a ten, out here you might be an eight This is love in L.A. We're chasing money and fame I wish I could've joined you, but I'm walking away
Skip all the small talk and get to the good part I know you got yoga to get to by eight We'll have coffee at the beach And pretend like we're not reaching For good conversation that doesn't involve what we're paid
You've got friends I know I'm sure that you're out every weekend You'll put on a show But I know that you cry when you're leaving
This is love in L.A. No one's making you stay Back home you were a ten, out here you might be an eight This is love in L.A. We're chasing money and fame I wish I could've joined you, but I'm walking away
So dream big, but don't fall Because you'll be working retail at the mall Dream big, but don't fall Because when you do, I won't be the one to call
Cos this is love in L.A. No one's making you stay I know you wanna make it, but how long will you play With the big-shots and ballers Who bought all of their followers It's a tough pill to swallow But I hope you're okay Cos I'm walking away From love in L.A. From love in L.A. I wish I could've joined you, but I'm walking away
