Today it rained in L.A.
Smog's been beatin' down for a while
Drove up a hill where
I could feel the ocean, see for miles
Feels like the top of the world
Right here the world's all mine
Here I lie, haa, aaa, haa
Watching the cars on the highway
You're one of those lights, haa, aaa, haa
That's driving away
I'm standing in the dark
Wondering where you are
I'm leaving my heart here
Echo park
Today you said you were leaving
Couldn't let you see me cry
You can take what you want to
But won't let you take my pride
Feels like the top of the world
Right here, the world's all mine
Here I lie, haa, aaa, haa
Watching the cars on the highway
You're one of those lights, haa, aaa, haa
That's driving away
I'm standing in the dark
Wondering where you are
I'm leaving my heart here
Echo park
The cars look smaller from here
The sky looks bigger from here
And now that everything is clear
Everything falls apart
Here I lie, haa, aaa, haa
Watching the cars on the highway
You're one of those lights, haa, aaa, haa
That's driving away
I'm standing in the dark
Wondering where you are, haa, aaa, aaa, aaa
Wondering where you are
In Echo park
