Take Me Back To LA Lyrics

[00:02.86] Take me back to L.A.
[00:06.29] Where the sun would kiss on my face
[00:10.77] Now the sunshine tracks my skin
[00:14.85] I stayed too long
[00:20.38] Take me back to a time
[00:24.94] When my blood never tasted like wine
[00:29.52] My love could fill a sea
[00:32.72] But now I can't even feel the breeze
[00:38.28] And it hurts when I think about (think about)
[00:43.27] The nights we would always shout
[00:47.84] My voice cracking when we scream
[00:52.36] You scream, we scream
[00:56.95] And I watched while you wiped your eyes (wiped your eyes)
[01:01.64] Then I learned to cover mine
[01:06.20] And that's when I realized that
[01:11.27] It's better when I'm by myself, yeah
[01:16.91] By myself, uh
[01:22.17] By myself, yeah
[01:27.73] Oh, it's better when I'm by myself
[01:35.08] Take me back to a place
[01:38.51] Where the snow would fall on my face
[01:43.34] And I miss my city lights
[01:47.22] I left too young
[01:52.61] Take me back to a time
[01:57.36] The trophies that I had would still shine
[02:01.66] Now I have nothing real left
[02:05.75] I want my soul
[02:10.51] And it hurts when I think about (think about)
[02:15.57] The days I would tell myself
[02:20.12] It's okay for me to scream
[02:24.79] To scream, to scream
[02:29.03] I put my hand over the fire (over the fire)
[02:33.82] And see if I can still cry (can still cry)
[02:38.67] And that's when I realize that
[02:43.29] I hate it when I'm by myself
[02:47.39]
[02:49.70] By myself (whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh)
[02:54.41] By myself
[02:57.33]
[02:59.82] Oh, I hate it when I'm by myself (oh)
[03:05.51]
[03:07.82] Oh, by myself, uh
[03:12.10] Oh, by myself (I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be)
[03:20.39] I hate it when I'm by myself
[03:24.54]
[03:26.76] By myself
[03:30.46] Cold, by myself (na-na-na-na-na-na)
[03:36.14] By my-, oh
[03:40.51] By myself
[03:43.03]
[03:45.17] By myself
[03:49.71] By myself
[03:54.42] By myself
[03:54.90]
