Making changes, one by one
The city won't stop for anything
The people won't stop for anyone
And I can't say they're wrong

Waiting, waiting... for so long
The present won't stop for memories
The water won't stop, so let it run
And I can't save this one

And I, can take what's left around me
But all of these surroundings
Were built by you and I
My life is based on what we started
L. a. is where we brought it
And now it's goodbye

Up in the hills, somebody let it go (x2)
(additional background singing)

Angel angel, on my mind
And now I won't quit for anything
And now I won't stop til late at night
And you can't take my side

Crazy crazy, I'll get by
The calling won't quit, you'll let it ring
The silence won't quit, I'm terrified
And we just let this fry

Our goal, to take this city with me
But don't you dare forgive me
I lost you in the lines
Ohh whooaa, I know this picture is forever
And time will make it better
She's saying goodbye

Up in the hills, somebody let it go (x2)
(additional background singing)

And I, can take what's left around me
But all of these surroundings
Were built by you and I
My life is based on what we started
L. a. is where we brought it
And now it's goodbye
