DAWES - Time Spent in Los Angeles (by loosemusic)
The sound and video are very LA, but the words are very anywhere:
these days my friends don’t seem to know me
without my suitcase in my hand
where I am standing still
I seem to disappear
…
when people ask me where I come from
to see what that says about man
I only end up giving bad directions
that never lead them there at all
…
I used to think someone would love me
for places I have been
and the dirt I have been gathering
deep beneath my nails
but now I know what I’ve been missing
and I’m going home to make it mine
and I’ll be battening the hatches and pulling in the sails
