Disconnected thoughts on love while stuck in los angeles traffic

[Verse 1:]
When it's love, you'll know it
At least that's what they told me
I'm so lonely when you're leaving
But you're not the one I want
I'm driving home, the traffic's heavy
I can feel it in my chest
Can we just rest here for a moment
Before we turn back into strangers

And we drive in silence cuz we got nothing left to say
Just let the time pass away
I hate LA I'm fucking sick and I miss the rain
I'll fade away, I need to find a new shade of grey

I don't wanna be glamorous or caught up in avarice
I just want you beside me when I come home
I wanna write the kind of love song
That makes you wish that we were closer
And when it's over, I'd be brave enough to tell you

[Verse 2:]
But I know you would tell me anything I wanted to hear
You'll be gone for a while, I'll rot away in here
In the morning you'll be singing, dry away those tears
I'm begging you to stay and cutting off my ears

On a wire outside my window
There sit 100 swallows
And I know that if 1 flew
That 99 would follow
This world is hollow, our time is borrowed
So why not fall in love
It'll only hurt for a minute
Soon after, we'll be gone

[Verse 3:]
But I know you would tell me anything I wanted to hear
You'll be gone for a while, I'll rot away in here
In the morning you'll be singing, dry away those tears
I'm begging you to stay and cutting off my ears

And we drive in silence cuz we got nothing left to say
Just let the time pass away
I hate LA I'm fucking sick and I miss the rain
I'll fade away, I need to find a new shade of grey

[Outro:]
On a wire outside my window
There sit 100 swallows
And I know that if 1 flew
That 99 would follow
This world is hollow, our time is borrowed
So why not fall in love
