I always dreamed of this place
Where ocean meets sky
My name on a dotted line
I got caught up in a wave
Of traffic on vine
Stuck here waiting for a sign
Stuck here waiting for a sign

Well, I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles
Till the last sunset, Los Angeles
Well, you lit this fire, years ago
And it gets me higher, I can't let it go
And I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles
Los Angeles

They say it's all who you know
But I dropped all my names
By now even mine has changed
Sometimes I stare at the phone
Like I'm prayin' for rain
It'll be here any day
It'll be here any day
Oh, whoa

And I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles
Till the last sun sets, Los Angeles
Well, you lit this fire, years ago
And it gets me higher, I can't let it go
And I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles
Los Angeles

More than I imagined
More than I was asking for
Anything can happen
In a city of open doors
Laughin' and cryin'
Either way, you know I'm yours
There's so much left to do
Ooh, hey

And I'm tryin' my best
Yeah, I'm tryin my best
Well, I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles
Till the last sun sets, Los Angeles
Well, you lit this fire, years ago
And it gets me higher, I can't let it go
And I'm tryin' my best, Los Angeles

Los Angeles
Los Angeles
I always dreamed of this place
Where ocean meets sky
