lyrics

Hey babe, When I’m in LA I’m staying at the Garland
I don’t want you to think I’m heartless
I love you the most when I’m the farthest
I won’t be the one that says you have to change
I won’t be the one that takes your freedom away
But my heart is a magnet not a video game
So we can’t be together if you’re pulling away…

I kissed your iliac crest
Then you shaved my head
Then we watched a movie
I rode my bike to your house
I spent the night in your bed
When I woke up you were looking right through me
21 1/2, reading Sylvia Plath wondering why would you choose me
I made it bigger than what it was
That’s what an artist does
We don’t have so much history do we?

Hey babe, When I’m in LA I’m staying at the Garland
I don’t want you to think I’m heartless
I love you the most when I’m the farthest
I won’t be the one that says you have to change
I won’t be the one that takes your freedom away
But my heart is a magnet not a video game
So we can’t be together if you’re pulling away…

The person I love is not the full person you are
It’s the piece of you that’s sweet to animals in the park
It’s the piece of you that’s holding on to me in the dark
I know distance is what I need for the healing to start
But I keep looking to you because you’re just like a star

Hey babe, When I’m in LA I’m staying at the Garland
I don’t want you to think I’m heartless
I love you the most when I’m the farthest
I won’t be the one that says you have to change
I won’t be the one that takes your freedom away
But my heart is a magnet not a video game
So we can’t be together if you’re pulling away…

Hey babe, When I’m in LA I’m staying at the Garland
I don’t want you to think I’m heartless
I love you the most when I’m the farthest
I won’t be the one that says you have to change
I won’t be the one that takes your freedom away
But my heart is a magnet not a video game
So we can’t be together if you’re pulling away…
