Lyrics

It hasn't rained hard for the better part of seven months
Everyone's listening
All I see ahead of me are glistening lights
This city stays up at night

Droning along like a dissonant song
by an amateur symphony
How come I can only tell you that I love you
When you're sleeping in the passenger seat

And all the fast cars
With the broken headlights
Run the red lights in the canyons
But I can taste it
The rain is coming
To clear the air over Los Angeles

Maybe it'll bring the hillside down
Maybe it'll flood the streets
Maybe when I tell you that I want you forever
I'm gonna make a fool of me

But I've got the windows down and the heater on my feet
And the skies are opening
It's gonna come falling, it's gonna come pouring
I'm gonna say everything

And all the fast cars
With the broken headlights
Run the red lights in the canyons
But I can taste it
The rain is coming
To clear the air over Los Angeles

The road is winding and it's barely lit
You never know how far you're really gonna get
But when you live here you learn to get used to it

All the fast cars
And the broken headlights
Running red lights in the canyons
But it's raining
The haze is drowning
The air is clear over Los Angeles
