L.A. Anymore

I don’t go to L.A. anymore
Not since the person locked the door
And I begged outside the window
I never did catch sight of him though
And I can be cutting in my remarks
And we were nothing if not all sparks
But I had to leave my coat on the grass
To climb up to the height of what you ask
As you kneel to kiss me slowly
And I could’ve sworn you didn’t know me
Except the moment I looked away
And you bow your head, I don’t know what to say
Except that maybe if I profess
And throw away my little black dress
That maybe you might relent
You’re an angel, heaven sent
But I have my own pair of wings
They shelter me whatever the weather brings
And I feel I have to hold back from you
Coz I don’t know what to do
And maybe is it okay
If I touch you that way
Run my hands down your arms
The length of you between my palms
And you are tall to be sure
And my love is deep and pure
Or so I’ve been told
Is it alright if I put your name in bold
While I write it next to mine
I think about it all the time
That maybe you might meet me by the shore
Or the rivers I adore
Not always hanging out in the city
See an equal not self pity
And fly out from the X
The wilderness what’s coming next
