You say you’re sick of this town
Then you order one more just to close the night out
And I’ve never seen you this down
I kinda wish it was me you were torn up about
But I turn the corner to the other room
And there’s a poster on the wall
And the picture is you
I sometimes forget I’m not the only one that gets you
You say you’ll take me to Reno
But part of me knows I’m never going
I’m never going there
Can only say that I wish you the best
Every time that you tell me that you’re moving out west, you know
I’m never going there
I’m never going with you
So let’s just stop
It’s just a phase
And you say that your goal is L.A
L.A anyway
I keep you at arm’s length
I don’t think that there’s any part of you that knows how to stay
Your goal is L.A. anyway
L.A. anyway
Went home with you
Swore it’d be the last time
Then your song came on in the checkout line
It feels like you and I are always rolling the dice
Betting on my peace of mind
There I was backing out of your driveway
Tequila from the night before
It left a sour taste
And hungover I was hitting the highway
Wondering if this was just a mistake
But I flash back to your face on a poster
Now I’m staring down at red words on a coaster
It says, “We’re glad you’re here!”
Are you glad you’re here?
‘Cause you can’t stop talking about this time next year
And I’m never going there
I’m never going with you
So let’s just stop
It’s just a phase
And you say that your goal is L.A
L.A anyway
I keep you at arm’s length
I don’t think that there’s any part of you that knows how to stay
Your goal is L.A. anyway
Remember me when everybody knows your name
I don’t want you to go
But I’d never ask you to stay
I hope that I’ll see you around here again someday
And while you’re chasing the bright lights and the Hollywood fame
I’ll think back on this night and remember you this way
Spirits go to dance
Legends go to die
You just want something to make you feel alive
So drive, drive, drive
But in the back of your mind
You say, “Stop, it’s just a phase”
But I know that your goal is L.A
You’re never gonna change
I keep you at arm’s length
I don’t think that there’s any part of you that knows how to stay
Your goal is L.A. anyway
Remember me when everybody knows your name
I’m never going there
I’m never going with you
Oh, I’m never going with you
I was never going with you
