Standstill

(album: I Sleep Fine Now - 2023)

Feels like I don't know anyone
In standstill on the 101
If you were in the shotgun seat
You'd make this traffic the place to be
But you sure went ahead and drew a line
As if wanting more could be a crime
It's California or it's you
Why'd you have to make me choose

Now who am I supposed to call
Thought you'd be here through it all
If I'd have known what the distance would take
I wouldn't have moved to LA

Fuck this lonely earthquake town
No one at the airport when I touch down
If I could just tell you the truth
No one listens like you do

Now who am I supposed to call
Thought you'd be here through it all
If I'd have known what the distance would take
I wouldn't have moved to LA

Afraid I'll
Forget what
You look like
When you
Fall asleep
And I take back
When I said that
You shouldn't
Come after me
And I take back
When I said that
You shouldn't
Come after me

Now who am I supposed to call
Thought you'd be here through it all
If I'd have known what the distance would take
I wouldn't have moved to LA

Now what am I supposed to do
You made my whole sky turn blue
If I'd have known what the distance would take
I wouldn't have moved to LA
