lyrics

L.A. Can Wait

I was waiting for the bus to L.A., she was going the opposite way.
When our paths crossed our eyes met our fate changed our plans.
So with my ticket and my suitcase in hand; I crossed the parking lot as fast as I can.
To take a chance and take a seat where we could meet up face to face.

Nothing else matters, we could spend a whole lifetime or just a couple of hours.
Because it’s a beautiful day to go the opposite way.

We were on the road together and then we started talking about the weather, and life and death and love and sex, and politics and all the rest of those things.
We were throwing big ideas around, incandescent in the love that we’d found.
At last the moment came to pass forever after we were changed.

Nothing else matters, we could spend a whole lifetime or just a couple of hours.
Because it’s a beautiful day to go the opposite way.

L.A. can wait.
I don’t know where this road leads, but I’ll gladly go if she’ll go with me.
I don’t know where this road leads, but I’ll gladly go if she’ll go with me.
I don’t know.
