I see colors in my mind
But this world is black and white
I see colors in my head
When I close my eyes, and go to bed
I know it seems like I'm moving on
But really, we have only just begun

So let me tell you how it is
The lights of Los Angeles
I wish you didn't have to miss
The lights of Los Angeles
See the city, and the ocean mist
I wish you could be here for this
I wish you could be here for this
Mmm, hmm

Feel the warmth of the ocean wind
And the taste of salt on the tip of my lips
Give me a smoke, come fill my lungs
As I stare out into the sun

And I know it seems like I changed my mind
Good things always take a little time

So let me tell you how it is
The lights of Los Angeles
I wish you didn't have to miss
The lights of Los Angeles
See the city, and the ocean mist
I wish you could be here for this
(I can hear the ocean calling)
(I can hear the ocean calling)
I wish you could be here for this
(I can hear the ocean calling)
(I can hear the ocean calling)
I wish you didn't have to
(I can hear the ocean calling)
(I can hear the ocean calling)
I wish you could be here for this
(I can hear the ocean calling)
Oh

I close my eyes, and count to 10
To see those colors once again

So let me tell you how it is
Oh, the lights of Los Angeles
I wish you didn't have to miss
The lights of Los Angeles
See the city, and the ocean mist

I know it seems like I changed my mind
Good things always take a little time
